Kaiser Aluminum Interview Questions

Interview

The only reason why you I didn’t want you and your friends are going out here and you want me to do it for a little baby lol I don’t want you in your house and you want me to do it you want me to do something

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Aluminum (Los Angeles, CA (US)) in December 2018.

Interview

Very unstructured interview onsite and follow-up phone interview with hiring manager and some other personnel. No STAR or behavioral questions. Mostly went over my background and what value I could bring to the organization. Fairly easy and straight forward interview process.

Contacted 2 weeks after interviews concluded and provided with an offer.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Kaiser Aluminum (Trentwood, WA (US)).

Interview

Phone interview with hiring manager. Days later a round robin interview. Meet all 3 in a conference and proceed to meet each one whereby behavioral questions and possible related skills are discussed.

Posting asked for certain skills (posting and hiring manager) said were required, while actual floor manager stated skills were barely used or certain analytical skills were not important. An apparent disconnect between upper management and the floor leading to some confusion for the interviewee.

Interviewers polite and professional.

Negative review is for unprofessional communication. Hours of interviewing (on-site) and no word back after thank you letters and follow ups. "Ghosting" as it is called with no rejection or acceptance after days of preparation and research on the company for the interview.

Nice and easy interview. The Interview was genuinely more interested in knowing that I would be a great fit, rather than just bombarding me with difficult questions. He was very interested in my work ethic and getting a feel for my demeanor.

3 separate phone interviews, application and background check, and panel interview onsite with 8 people, each for one hour, skill quiz and plant tour. Required to pay for own transportation and stay, they make arrangements with your credit card. You are given forms to request reimbursement. No follow up was given on interview results. I did not bother with reimbursement, instead chalked it up to experience.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Kaiser Aluminum in October 2015.

Interview

I was presented by a recruiter and spoke to the Kaiser recruiter. I was seen as a candidate that could work or benefit a few of their plants due to the challenges and skill set that I was able to offer. Their recruiter supposedly put my resume in front of a few plant managers. After not hearing back I got a no email. The no email was not specific about which location I was turned for.

Kaiser's recruiting system is bad. The interview wasn't too bad. I talked to their recruiter about what I've done in my career and that was about it.
