      OSA Interview

      Aug 24, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Minneapolis, MN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at MSC Industrial Direct (Minneapolis, MN) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      The interview process is very long, consisting of repeated meetings with employees at different levels and long gaps between those meetings. I'm not sure why this process takes so long. I had written the opportunity off and was looking elsewhere when an offer was finally made.

      Question 1

      They wanted to know about times when I had struggled to fit in with co-workers.

      Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We’ve made many improvements to our recruiting process based on feedback since you interviewed, including shortening the length of the interview process. We may have a few interviews per candidate, but we have found this provides both the candidate and MSC the information needed to make an informed decision. We put great emphasis on making the best hires possible. We’re happy to know you are still with us. Thanks again for the feedback.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at MSC Industrial Direct in Aug 2011

      Interview

      Very long interview process and the background check timeline can make you crazy...but it you tell the truth and just be yourself you'll stand out. MSC hired real people to sell to customers. The process it started by their corporate recruiters who are very friendly and focused on what they are hiring for. local manager takes over and is also very friendly.
