Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Sysco
It was a different kind of interview I feel as if I was already singled out as a big no as soon as I walked in to the interview room , they did not seem to interested in me
- What's your expected salary starting
Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Sysco
I applied online through the company's site. Got an email to schedule a phone interview, which I did. Recruiter located in TX, but interview scheduled for my time zone (EDT). Scheduled time came and went with no phone call. This is highly unprofessional and a waste of time for someone looking for a job - it does not make your company look appealing to job seekers!!!!
Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Sysco
Very process oriented with generic scripted questions. Not specific or customized to the role one is seeking. Too formal and not conversational. The overall experience is somewhat robotic the interviewers don’t have much leeway to go off script.
- Tell me about a time you had a difficult manager that told you to do something you disagreed with.

The interview process was atrocious, the gentleman I spoke too was very hard to understand and everything he said over the phone did not match what the job description/ad had stated. Very odd putting and had no answers to any questions I asked
