Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took a week. I interviewed at Big Heart Pet Brands (Pittsburgh, PA) in June 2015.

Interview

I was contacted by their hiring agency, Medix Staffing Solutions, after I applied to a position through a job board website. They were trying to fast track the interview process because the hiring manager was preparing for maternity leave. I was brought in for a preliminary interview with the staffing company, and received a phone call the next day to schedule an interview with the hiring manager at Big Heart. My interview at Big Heart lasted about 2.5 hours, and I was able to walk around with the manager and meet some current employees and take a tour of the quality control lab. I received a call back from them about three days later saying that I was hired and I started working there the following week. So overall the process was very quick.
