I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wegmans Food Markets in Jun 2017
Interview
I received email with invitation to schedule interview. I spoke to HR person and made appointment. HR person told me that she would send a confirmation email with the address of the interview location. They never sent a confirmation email. I had to verify the location myself.
So, the HR person neglecting to follow through on what they said they would do is sort of a warning sign.
I'm not even sure if this person was a true HR employee, they could have been just a regular employee asked to assist with the interviewing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were what seems to be standard now. Standard in terms of companies trying to posture themselves as a fabulous place to work. So usually a lot of the posturing seems and probably is pretentious and phony.
Questions along the lines of describe a situation, describe an example of great customer service, et cetera.
It was a weird interview, two people supposedly transcribing my interview answers on their laptop. In between reading questions from the interview question script.
Whoever the person was who invented this style of interview where they ask behavioral questions or good cop-bad cop style interviews or the like, must have been a moron. And unfortunately companies rely on these techniques to hire people.
The best interviews I have had were very simple. The manager doing the hiring was the one doing the interview. Sometimes this person was also the manager I would work with every day. The interview was not an event where the company projected a certain posture which was probably meant to intimidate anyway.
And the manager doing the interviewing didn't waste time with a lot of BS questions that are incongruent with what the real world looks like and behaves.
In those best interviews the manager projected an honest authentic posture and we were able to get a realistic idea about each other.
Apply online. In a few days I received a message to schedule a phone interview. Then you are scheduled for a video interview or in person interview with the hiring team.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Wegmans Food Markets (Leesburg, VA)
Interview
interview process was great and provided great information regarding the company and culture set by the wegmans brand. I think this company truly cares for what they stand for and it reflects in the employees who run the operations
