I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Conagra Brands (Naperville, IL) in Mar 2016
Interview
Interview process was standard up until the final round. ConAgra uses the behavioral questions interview model, whether you are experienced or not. This is a great interview model when assessing the potential of inexperienced professionals as it is a great predictor of future behavior. This is a poor model for interviewing experienced professionals, which is why great companies focus more on fit when interviewing experienced candidates. There is no need to predict when you can assess methodology and results of a candidate that has done the same job elsewhere. As can be expected when attempting to use a one size fits all strategy, the interviewers focused more on delivery than the content of the responses. As a candidate, this allowed me to draw my own predictive conclusions about the organization.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when there was a change to a plan and the outcome was positive and a time when the outcome was negative.
The interview process was a phone call and then an interview with the hiring manager. The manager was 15 minutes late for a 30-minute interview. Joined and said she runs interviews by asking people to review their resume and give the highlights and fails. Overall, did not like that experience. Was also told I would be expected to work at 8 pm at night....

Question 1
Walk me through your resume, give the highlights and failures.
Was dragged for 7 interviews only to be told that they went with someone else. Please don't waste people's time and make them do case study's if you dont want to hire them. I would never recommend conagra to anyone.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Conagra Brands (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2023
Interview
Recruiter Interview, Hiring Manager Interview, HR Manager, Two sets of 1 hour panel interviews, VP interview All are behavioral based; panels are case interviews as well. Interviewers do not give feedback on how you performed. If you are declined, you get a generic email which feels off when you ask for 4-5 hours of someone’s time.
