Interview

The online application process I'm about to describe is a prime example of a horribly outdated and frustrating experience. Imagine you're excited about applying for a job, but as you begin the online application process, you're met with an antiquated system that seems to have missed several decades of technological advancements. No Auto-Fill Capability: Right from the start, you realize that there's no auto-fill feature. You have to manually input every piece of information, from your name and contact details to your entire work history. Each field requires you to type everything out, including job titles, dates of employment, and responsibilities. Tedious Dropdown Menus: Instead of intuitive text boxes, the application relies heavily on dropdown menus for you to select options like your education level, previous job titles, and industries. These dropdowns are long and poorly organized, making it a challenge to find the right option. And if your specific choice isn't available? Tough luck. Repetitive Data Entry: Why even ask for the resume? Time-Consuming and Error-Prone: As you painstakingly fill out each field and dropdown, you're constantly worried about making mistakes or missing a detail. The lack of user-friendly features increases the likelihood of errors, and there's no opportunity for a final review before submission. No Mobile-Friendly Design: If you're attempting to apply from your mobile device, good luck. The application process is not optimized for mobile screens, making the experience even more cumbersome and frustrating. Outdated Interface: The entire application interface looks like it was designed in the early 2000s, with clunky graphics, mismatched fonts, and an overall lack of user-friendly design principles. In this nightmare scenario, the application process not only disregards your resume but also your time, effort, and sanity. It's a baffling journey through the annals of archaic technology, leaving you wondering how a company could be so disconnected from modern applicant expectations.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Aug 2023

Interview

Processo seletivo desagradável com questionamentos invasivos e que encurralam o candidato. O processo seletivo foi terceirizado e a empresa que conduziu foi a Inter Hunter, porém isso não desonera a responsabilidade da empresa Hershey's pelo processo seletivo, e eu me senti moralmente assediada com questionamentos extremamente invasivos. Esse tipo de questionamento sobre vida pessoal, principalmente de candidatas mulheres, só demonstra qual é o grupo que é mais sucestível a não ser inserido na sociedade por essa empresa. Se é uma empresa inclusiva, esses questionamentos deveriam ser proibidos, porque não é mais cabível na sociedade atual, as perguntas precisam e devem focar somente no que diz respeito a vida profissional do candidato.

Application

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Hershey, PA) in Aug 2023

Interview

I only did a phone screen. After a few typical questions, the recruiter said he could *maybe* get me 70% of my salary requirement that I listed on my application, but then proceeded to say that there wasn’t really a set budget for the role. Why call me and waste my time? The experience left a bad taste in my mouth, so I decided to withdraw my application.

Interview Questions
  • Q1: What kinds of cost reports are you familiar with out of SAP? Q2: How many years experience with dashboards? Q3: How comfortable are you with travel? Q4: Have you built & maintained project schedules in Primavera/MS project?

I applied online. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Citrus Heights, CA) in Aug 2023

Interview

Too much back round noise with the interviewer and it made it impossible to hear and concentrate.. They asked question again even though they said I already answered it. I have my reasons for leaving previous jobs and my most recent, I was let go. They never asked me as to why and I didn’t get a chance to explain. I’ve worked for huge companies, Kellogg’s and Mattel and the process with Hersheys is ridiculous. Didn’t get any emails or communication after interview for 3 weeks.

Interview

Long and had you go in the field to not give an offer. Felt like they wasted my time. Interviews were pretty normal but it was very discouraging when I applied for a position and got into the interview and they had not told me the specific one I applied for was no longer available until after my second interview.

Senior Manager

I am hopeful I’ll get an offer soon. I have an upcoming 10-day trip in 2 months and am wondering when is the right time to bring it up/negotiate time off: When they send me the offer? If yes, do I tell HR or try to reach out to the manager? When I start the job? A few days after I start?
