I applied online. I interviewed at Waste Connections (Knoxville, TN) in Apr 2015
Interview
3 step interview process. First by phone, then with Divisional management group, then on to Region if you're liked. They tend to focus more on if you're a good culture fit rather than if you know the nuts and bolts of the industry or the technical skills in accounting.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Waste Connections (San Luis Obispo, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interview was simple and straight forward. They asked about my experience with excel/ bookkeeping along with some small talk. They made it clear that upward growth isn’t always guaranteed unless you are willing to move to other locations. I decided not to go to the second interview. Not the job for me but definitely suitable for someone who doesn’t mind moving.

Interview
Interview process is long and tedious. Make you do questionnaires to see if you would fit in with the rest of their team. Plus they call you back multiple times. It is not just one interview. It is like 4.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Waste Connections
Interview
The process was relatively quick. There was a phone interview and an interview with the Controller. The in-person interview was at the work facility. I didn’t see much of the facility as we had the interview in an upstairs conference room near the building front entrance.
