Monsanto Company Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Extremely long process. Started with phone screen, on-site interviews (5 rounds), 2nd set of on-site interviews with business side (4 rounds), final round (2 rounds). Questions are almost always behavioral - specifically center on their 5 core principles. How do you express agility? How have you been innovative? Share a failure (this is always a tricky question). How do you express agility? How have you been innovative? Share a failure (this is always a tricky question). Agility/innovation are 2 of 5 core principles - learn those, frame answer within them, and tie back to position description.

Interview Details – Panel interview with several different people. Behavioral based questions

Interview Details – Phone Interview about 15 - 20 minutes.All the questions are behavioral questions.

Interview Details – I got the interview in the on campus career fair. They ask behavioral questions for about 30 minutes, two interviewer, one asked questions and the other take notes of every question I answered. They have a sheet specifying all the interview questions and they just ask one by one. Those questions I remember was: Have you missed deadline? Have you go above and beyond your responsibility? Tell me a time when you have multiple tasks and how you managed them? What finance classes you have taken? (I know the girl who got this internship, is from accounting major. I wonder if they would ask"what accounting classes you have taken" instead of finance classes..) My interview was in Sep. and waited months to get the result.

Interview Details – Apply using campus employment system, go to the first round. There were 2 people who were conducting the interview. The questions were behavioral. I got the result for the second round interview 2 weeks after. There were several people conducting the interview. All of the questions were behavioral questions.

Interview Details – The hiring process seems to be fair. The interview process is a bit challenging, though, and typically you have to do at least one group interview.

Negotiation Details – I ended up having to take a $4,000 paycut.

Interview Details – I thought that the person who interviewed me was unprofessional. He didn't seem as though he normally handled interviews and he didn't ask me much. He gave me a brief tour and talked with me for about 10 minutes.

Interview Details – One on campus interview. Mostly general questions and about location.

Interview Details – Phone interviews were fine. Admin that set up the onsite interview schedule was not there to meet me (drove to St Louis night before); that was quite unprofessional but these things happen. Once the process was under way, it was two panel interviews and one interview with the org lead.

Second onsite interview was interesting. I was asked to walk to another building on campus which meant I needed to cross over the express way via an overpass. Most of the journey was me walking along the road as there were not side walks. Odd. Once the interviews got underway, i spent more time with the folks who had interviewed me prior plus some new folks. My takeaway? There was more interest in knowing how to run a testing team as my sense of it was, no one there really knows how to do it successfully. I wanted to share my experiences but not be pumped for information so they could essentially pick up tools of the trade and offer the position to a local cheaper resource. It's possible I was too vague at times but I started seeing a pattern and determine I was no longer interested but since I was in St Louis I decided to finish up the interview and go to Six Flags.
