      Engineering Assistant Interview

      Sep 25, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Davenport, IA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Nestlé Purina U.S. (Davenport, IA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      Applied online via a posting on a college jobs website. I was then lead to the website for the company. The company then had their own jobs website to apply on. Your typical online job application. About 2 weeks later I got an email from their HR saying they wanted to do a phone screen. I then had the phone screen which was about 1 hour in length. There they asked me mostly about myself, career goals and only 2 interview questions. Much of it was finding out about the company and trainee program. Then a month later I received word I had an interview on-site at their factory. One month later I had my interview. There I met several people involved in management, some interviews had 2 interviewers, some had 1. I received an offer a few days later.

      Engineering Assistant Interview

      May 16, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Denver, CO
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nestlé Purina U.S. (Denver, CO) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      This role is part of the Manufacturing Development Program. First round was a 1-hour phone interview with a recruiter- all behavioral/informational. About a week later, the recruiter contacted me to set up a virtual second round - this consisted of 3 1-hour video interviews back-to-back, each with 2 employees. I appreciated that they even got the plant manager involved as an interviewer. The recruiter had given clear guidance beforehand to prepare a number of instances to talk about in response to behavioral questions. ~2 days after this final round, the recruiter informed the team would like to have me out to the site (Denver) for a tour. There were no additional interviews at this stage - just meet-and-greets, a facility tour, lunch with the team, and lots of time for me to ask questions. At the end of this site visit, I received the formal offer letter (salary in the upper $80k's is on the lower end given my >2yrs experience). All travel was reimbursed, and the team members themselves seemed like nice people to work with. I declined the offer on the basis of Nestle's ethics differing too greatly from my personal values. Additionally, the MDA program requires relocation to different sites in areas much less desirable than Denver. I'd only be guaranteed a role in Denver for the first rotation (~18 months) before potentially being sent somewhere in the middle of nowhere without an opportunity for personal input. Remote work did not seem like an option for this role (be ready to smell like dog food everyday).
