I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2017
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter next step is a taped video interview, awkward experience where you are asked a series of 9 questions then have 3 minutes to answer each in STAR format. If you are experienced but do not 'fit' what they want e.g. young, extroverted, correct gender, then do not apply. I have over 10+ years experience in this role but was not 'qualified' -glorified merchandising role at best
I applied online. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Houston, TX)
Interview
The first step was an in person interview
with HR and the hiring manager. You also did a ride along with one of their Sales Reps to see if the position would actually be a good fit for you and if you would be a good fit for the company. The rep evaluates you and advises management if you should move forward in the interview process, etc. Not certain if the process has changed.
I had multiple virtual interviews with friendly employees. After those, I had a field interview where I shadowed an employee in the role I had applied for. That is when I realized the job wasn't for me, though the employee I shadowed seemed to really enjoy his job. The interview process wasn't overly drawn out, it was straight forward, and I have no complaints.
