I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kraft Heinz
Interview
I had a short, ten minute phone call after taking to them at a university career fair. Then I was scheduled for an hour long on campus interview in which I had two 30-minute behavioural interviews. The questions were standard and they recorded my answers on a laptop. Then I was asked to come for an on-site day where they flew us into Chicago and had day for all the candidates where we toured the office and were given some speeches and a panel discussion. There was no actual interview, we had to give a three minute "american idol" presenation about ourselves.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kraft Heinz (Lansing, MI) in Nov 2016
Interview
I met with the company at a campus career fair, then followed up with a phone interview for basic questions and qualifications, and then an on campus interview which consisted of two different half hour interviews, one with HR and one with a technical person. It was about a week between each step. There is another step onsite which I did not reach.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you led a team. What were the results?
I applied through university. I interviewed at Kraft Heinz in Sept 2016
Interview
I was first asked to complete a set of online evaluations. The first targets your personality and the second targets logic and gets nearly impossible towards the end. I suppose I did well enough for a phone interview.
The phone interview process was quite rude to be honest. I was contacted by a recruiter's team member who was clearly just reading off questions from a script and did not care whatsoever. I was called two minutes late and then after explaining my resume and answering a behavioral question as requested, I was told that I only had enough time to ask one question. Yeah. I have no idea how these people have jobs.
After the interview I sent a thank you note and they seemed to have vanished into thin air. Never heard back in any way. They must be too busy cutting interview times short. For a company like this to not even let you ask two questions and then fail to have the decency to respond in any way to you is simply mind blowing to me.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kraft Heinz (Springfield, MO) in Apr 2016
Interview
I went through an initial phone screening after a test, then two Skype interviews. Was invited onsite in Missouri, along with about 50 other people. The day was long and basically their entire decision was based off a 3 minute "elevator pitch" that you had to make about 24 hours before. They gave you no time to make the presentation and the rest of the day didn't really matter. They called and said while I wasn't invited to the program, they wanted me to interview for two direct entry positions (Quality Supervisor and Production Supervisor), so I flew cross-country again. By this point, I had been interviewing with the company for more than two and a half months and had turned down other job offers for this opportunity. After all the effort, they never called me. Even when I emailed asking why I never heard back, I was told they were still deciding. Still never got a phone call or email about the decision. Very frustrating as it was at the expense of two cross-country trips, many classes missed, two job offers, and a lot of wasted time interviewing. They spend a lot of time praising you and telling you you're special, but they have fewer spots than they imply - don't fall for the trap!
