I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gamay Food Ingredients (New Berlin, WI) in Jul 2019
Interview
I was interviewed by the whole R&D team and there were two people at a time. They all had a positive attitude and were really friendly. Unfortunately, I did not get an offer because they said I was overqualified and they ended up hiring an internal person
