I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr in Feb 2021
Interview
The interview process was pretty standard. A recruiter reached out to me and we connected for a 30 minute screening interview. Afterwards I had 4 hours of behavioral interviews, broken up over 2 days. The only part that stood out was that the first scheduled "interview" was more focused on explaining the company.
Everybody was friendly throughout the process, however there was a bizarre segment where they spent 15 minutes comparing their website to a competitor's website to demonstrate the ease of use and some interviewers seemed unprepared.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Robbinsville, NJ)
Interview
Make sure to ask lots of questions. It is very easy to be "duped" into thinking that you are doing well, but you have absolutely no idea. Seems like an amazing gig, and they definitely want to hear you stress and talk about the work-life balance.

Interview
They flew me out for it and put me up in a hotel and everything. Then the interview was a full day - someone was assigned to greet me, give a tour, eat lunch, and three different interviews getting more and more senior throughout the day. Lots of questions for examples of times when I … and pulled straight from the prep they send.
