I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arconic (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2023
Teams meeting with the hiring manager then an on site interview with the hiring manager and 3 other team members. Total waste of time. Do not bother with a company that still requires in person interviews!

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Pittsburgh, PA
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Arconic (Pittsburgh, PA) in Sep 2022
The interview process consisted of an over the phone interview, a video interview, and an in-person interview. After the final interview, I received an e-mail two days later notifying me that I was not selected for the job. Although the interview questions were not challenging, the hiring team potentially had higher standards. I felt the interview went fairly well. Overall, the process was efficient and the interviewers were very professional.
- Describe a time that you had to manage a conflict. Tell me about a time that you had to independently hit particular objectives.

Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Arconic
Behavioral based interview, focus on teamwork, adapting to change. Computer skills. Making a decision with limited information. Was a fairly quick turnaround to hear a response. Interview with a panel of 2-3 people.
- How you adapt to change.

Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Arconic
Smooth transition, a bit unorganized, new interviewer, new to the job. Turnover was high. Extremely unorganized company. Would not recommend to anyone. Outdated systems and slow. No diversity at the organized and not enough experience to pass on to new employees who were offered position. Pay is low as well.
- Why do you want to work here?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Lancaster, PA
I applied online. I interviewed at Arconic (Lancaster, PA)
Unprepared group of personnel. Read canned questions. Disengaged...felt like i was interrupting their day. 1 manager kept looking at his computer. Not interested in the help. 1 manager was focused on tell me how important he was and his work the culture was not top notch. favorite part: their key operations person called a senior manager at my company to share that i interviewed. helped me to decide to stay at my current workplace!
