I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Pella (Longwood, FL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Interview process took about 2 months. First interview was with HR and took place on the phone, a few weeks later someone from the local office contacted me and asked a few questions and we set up a in person interview a few weeks later. Interview process took entirely way to long. They do not move fast. I had been copied on a email by accident saying they were moving forward with me, then 2 weeks later received a rejection notice. I did find that part slightly unprofessional.

Question 1
I was asked to give my understanding of how the construction industry process worked

Interview
The first step of the process was a phone interview with a recruiter. The basic questions were asked (ex. tell me about self, why did you apply). The second step was then a in person interview that lasted about 30 minutes - 1 hour.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pella (Orlando, FL) in Jun 2024
Interview
I applied via a recruiter and was invited to a panel-style interview one week later. Two members of the team (one from CS and one from Ops) conducted the interview.
My resume highlighted transferable skills from another industry though the entire panel seemed to be focused on weak points and differences in workflow. Questions were also read from a list, so the flow felt stilted without much room to explain my strengths.
Some comments and faces that were made in response to my answers did make me feel uncomfortable and, at times, disrespected.
Overall, the interview did not feel conversational and I felt like I wasted my time researching the company in preparation. I would recommend that the recruitment team revise their job description to reflect the managers' desire for someone more experienced than what's advertised.
