      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Univar Solutions (New York, NY) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      I was contacted by a Recruiter who described the position. It is a lot like what I do in my current job but with greater opportunity for advancement so I was very interested. About a week (maybe less) later I was contacted to come in for a panel interview. I met with 2 supervisors in the department. I thought it went well. The interview was capped at 1 hour as they were meeting several candidates. One thing that was a red flag was one of the interviewers emphasized how chaotic the department is and how they are overloaded with work. She said I'd be walking into a mess and they want to be fully transparent upfront. It was odd, but didn't deter my interest at the time. Afterwards I followed up with the recruiter and confirmed my interest in the position. He said he'd let me know if he hears anything. It's been a week and a half and I haven't heard anything.

      It sounds like you were provided a fair opportunity to share your background to a panel of interviewers. We strive to be authentic during our interview process and share with candidates about current challenges. Many of the folks we have hired have shared how the challenges have provided them the opportunity to grow professionally and showcase their ability to build. You should be hearing back from us soon once a decision is made.
