      Plant Accountant Interview

      Aug 6, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Beloit, WI
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kerry (Beloit, WI)

      Interview

      I applied months before I received a phone call about a different position with the company that they were trying to fill, in a different state. I had a phone interview a week later, an in person interview 2 weeks after that, and the job offer 2 days after. The phone interview was very basic and felt like it could have been done by an online questionnaire. My in person interview was slightly awkward. I was suppose to interview with 8 different people, and 6 of those people ended up being out of the state or country at the time, for work conferences. My interview "host" (the graduate program HR rep) scrambled to find 5 people to fill in for the 6, so they were unprepared for my interview. Only one of those that interviewed me seemed mildly interested, and I found out later it was because he was in the same business unit as me. The others would check their emails during the interview, and ask the same questions as the previous interviewers. Overall, I couldn't get an accurate gauge of how it went, because of the disconnect feeling of the interviewers. Part of the reason that I wanted to interview with the company was because of the international opportunities. Each interviewer asked if I was willing to relocate, and two of the interviewers went into detail on how the company loves young graduates for the international opportunities because we were "easy to mold" and "unattached". I found that statement a bit arrogant because they did not know I was married and it made me feel like if they knew I was young and married, my changes of being able to relocate internationally would be greatly reduced (and after working there, I've found that true).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you please explain to me what your take on "intermediate manufacturing"is? Do you plan on obtaining your CPA? Are you willing to relocate? How do you handle pressure?

      Plant Accountant Interview

      Jul 13, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Carrigaline
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kerry (Carrigaline) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      Interviewers had both same surname and spoke to each other unprofessionally throughout the interview. The plant manager was nicer of the two as the other guy loved the sound of his own voice and loved massaging his own ego throughout the process. He was more interested in catching out a candidate with his assumptions and questions to make himself feel more superior other than wanting to have a nice interview experience. Had 10+ interviews for other organisations and this interview was by far the worst treatment I have witnessed in an interview process. Had no interest in the candidate just looking to make himself feel better it seemed. Very disappointing as I thought Kerry would be an excellent place to work. However as this role required to report to this guy conducting the interview. Common sense was to stay clear of this position as my gut feeling was that these people would make your working life hell. On plus side made me realise how pleasurable other interviewers were after this awful experience and accepted an offer from a competitor . Also they asked lots of questions which were not related to anything outlined on job spec. Kerry Group I would recommend train managers how to be professional and learn simple common courtesy before letting them interview professional candidates.
