I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Cleveland, OH)
Interview
The interview process is a long process, but you get to really see what it is like there. The team was very friendly and welcoming, but asked many behavioral questions.
Other Distribution Specialist interview reviews for McMaster-Carr
Had about a 75 minute zoom interview then a "final round" onsite interview in which I was given a tour of the facility, was given a work-related exercise to complete, then had 2 sit down interviews which were more behavioral questions.
I applied for McMaster-Carr for two positions Distributions Specialist & Customer Service. I applied first late September, Didn't hear back, So that the job was reposted so I tried again early-mid November. Immediately a recruiter reached out and schedule a phone interview with me. Did that interview over the phone on a Monday, pretty basic questions then the next morning they emailed me to go for a 2.5 hour in person interview. I went to their facility in Robbinsville, NJ that Thursday. I was given a tour of the facility from one of their distributions operation manager then he asked me some general questions. Then sat in two rounds with two more recruiters. Again a lot of behavioral, case scenarios. Interview felt good and they told me that they would let me know by next Monday-Tuesday. Tuesday I saw the job got reposted again and Wednesday morning they emailed me that they didn't want to move forward with me. While it's definitely a big company and organized, a lot of the reviews I read online were kinda concerning saying that the salary/benefits are the best thing there. Definitely some red flags and seeing the position being posted for the 3rd time in like 2 months was something that made me skeptical. Well good luck to them filling that position
