Very interactive, and fun. The job comes with a lot of physical labor so it was a great place for a former athlete like myself to be. They told me the company loves go getters and that being open to new opportunities is key.

InterviewI applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at International Paper (Orange, TX) in Nov 2021
I first met them at the campus career fair where I proceeded to have a interview the next day. A few days later I received a call to attend a weekend event where I got to meet many of the lead team members and other REACH engineers. They had a whole fun weekend planned out alongside the interviews and it would have to be one of the best interview experiences I’ve ever experienced. The team over at the Valliant Oklahoma mill went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience!
