Really weird experience. 1) applied online 2) HR reached out to phone screen 3) spoke with the plant manager 4) flew out for an interview, 3 hours long with 4 groups of people My red flag was when the plant manager asked where I see myself in 5 years, I said something about pursuing a masters degree, and she said “if you expect me to pay you more because you have your masters, you’re wrong”. Everyone else was really nice
The first interview was a phone screening for about 30 minutes. They talked about the role, what was expected of the candidate, and asked a few questions to see if the candidate is the right fit for the role.
