I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IFF (Carrollton, TX)
Interview
Some behavioral interview questions. Questions about personality, work experience, and diversity. They prefer to hire young inexperienced people so they can keep labor cost down. They also prefer people who speak Spanish. No direct hiring, you always have to go through a temp agency so expect even lower pay for at least 6 months until you get hired full time. When they do hire you full time they will low ball compensation similar to the level you get paid through the temp agency. You have to negotiate hard to get you wage up and it will below market rate in your area. People that do not negotiate pay will get very very low compensation.
