I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gent Commodity
Interview
Zoom call with HR. Never mentioned that 4 others would be on the call too, 3 of which never spoke. Very rigid HR questions - strengths, weaknesses, time you worked in a team. Did not answer any of my questions, HR person just repeated boilerplate statements. One of the other interviewers piped up and said one of my questions would be answered in a second interview. Very weird experience, most rigid and unwelcoming interview I've had this year.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Gent Commodity (Houston, TX) in Mar 2024
Interview
I interviewed with HR and then heard nothing back, not even a rejection. HR rep said she would reach out with the next steps, but after follow-ups, still nothing. The interview was nice otherwise, but apart from that, there almost no information about the job, the website contains almost no information.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This job will require long hours and travel and is highly stressful. Do you understand this, and is this something you are prepared for?
