I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Dyno Nobel (Simsbury, CT) in Oct 2017
Interview
Several phone calls with regional manager, department manager, others, from Simsbury and the head office in Salt Lake City. Then an in-person at the Simsbury facility, followed by another phone call.

Question 1
Interest in the company, how past experience relates to the job, many follow-up questions
Just a phone call. Even though I emailed the woman to confirm the time due to the time zones she had clearly forgotten the interview and stood me up. When we did finally speak, she was not prepared at all. It was maybe 18 minutes in length and she had no idea when they were going to make an offer. Bottom line she came across as an unprepared window shopper.
