Interview
I interviewed with their recruiter in California to begin with and then the hiring manager and other Process Engineer. After that, I interviewed with several people in the plant and with HR.
I didn't move forward in the process but I was impressed with the Recruiter who personally let me know instead of sending a form letter.InterviewThe Recruiter asked a lot of behavioral based questions. The last interview process was based on STAR.

A team from our Walnut Creek office recently volunteered at the Monumental Toy Drive in Concord, California by opening shipments containing hundreds of fun gifts, flattening the boxes for recycling, and sorting over 1,300 presents for children from ages 5-10. Basic American Foods was also pleased to donate $1,000 to the Monumental Toy Drive to help meet their need for additional toys to distribute. Since 1997, the MTD has been providing gifts during the holiday season to thousands of underprivileged children from public elementary schools in our community. The work was tiring, but very rewarding, knowing that these gifts will bring joy to so many children!
