I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Stiles Machinery
Interview
A long and thorough interview process. After initial contact from a regional manager I was instructed to do a one hour video interview with a VP. After that I was instructed to take a personality test. Then I was flown to HQ to meet with a number of people, mostly other VPs. These were all good spirited interviews where the company culture was explained and they got a chance to take a better look at me. Looking back the job was essentially mine after the test and the first video interview were passed.
