I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
The interview started with a tour of the office and warehouse. I was asked small questions on why I thought the company would choose to do things the way they did. Next, met with several experienced employees with varying backgrounds for ‘character’ interviews, and a couple basic test questions related to operational and company culture choices.

Incredibly drawn out and tedious interview process with 9 total “interviews” for the entire process, including 5 on the on-site final round. Open-ended questions about yourself and different processes/projects at the company.

Interview
Made it past phone call screening and had a one-on-one chat with a current manager before final round of interviews. Each round was 45 minutes to an hour long and questions were difficult. Have lots of examples ready. Have different answers ready for similar questions.

Interview
The interview process was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. I really appreciated that the discussions were fully behavioral, allowing me to naturally draw on my past experiences. Furthermore, the company truly goes out of its way to treat you like a VIP throughout the entire visit, covering a remarkably nice hotel stay and providing a generous stipend to ensure you are completely comfortable.
