      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at 3M

      Interview

      30 minute phone call, the woman was very nice and excited about her role as a recruiter for the program. It felt very casual. I didn't get the job because I didn't have warehouse experience at the time of application.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at 3M (State College, PA) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      It was a three-step process. There was a first-round interview, a virtual career fair that helps you learn more about the position and opportunities at 3m. Lastly, there is a behavioral interview.

      Question 1

      How would you handle conflict in a situation? What is an example?
