I went through two phone screenings with Gorton’s, which went smoothly, and was then invited onsite. The company arranged my hotel, flights, and car service, and confirmed that all travel-related expenses (including Uber and meals) would be reimbursed. The onsite consisted of back-to-back interviews with HR, the food science team, and a VP. While everyone was professional, the process felt disorganized—many of the same questions were repeated multiple times, suggesting a lack of coordination in their system. Unfortunately, after the interviews, communication completely stopped. Despite HR confirming reimbursements, I had to submit my expense form twice, and after two months I still haven’t received any reimbursement or responses. Overall, while the initial stages seemed promising, the experience ended with ghosting and an unresolved reimbursement issue.

Long interview process. You will speak with multiple people in different departments since this is a cross-functional position. Each interviewer will have a different style of interview, from the more classic to more conversational.
