      Staff Engineer Interview

      Apr 18, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Fort Dodge, IA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nestlé Purina U.S. (Fort Dodge, IA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      Applied online and then I had phone interview with recruiter. Next there was an onsite interview. The onsite interview began with a tour, which is unusual (it seems they typically save this for last in other interviews I have been on). I waited a week after the interview to receive the offer. Because I was an internal Nestle candidate a background and drug screen were not required.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard behavioral questions such as, "Tell me about a time when a project did not go as planed?" Or, "Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with another employee."

      Staff Engineer Interview

      Aug 24, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nestlé Purina U.S. in Aug 2019

      Interview

      First round was an interview with a HR employee which lasted about an hour. The first question was salary requirements which I though was very inappropriate for the first question in an interview. Next I was asked to go through my resume and then answered 2 behavioral questions. I passed this round and about 5 days later was asked to do a virtual interview. The virtual interview was an absolute joke. Nestle uses some app similar to zoom or Skype they created for the virtual interview and it is absolutely terrible. The virtual interview consisted of 3 1 hour interviews with 2 Nestle employees each round. Was asked 2-3 different behavioral questions each round. Only problem is the software is so terrible you spend more time asking to have questions and/or answers repeated. Also, the third set of interviewers were 25 minutes late. I was very unimpressed after this and as soon as the interview was over I immediately withdrew myself from consideration due to the interview process. My advice is ditch the crappy software you tried to develop and go with a proven software such as zoom or just don’t do virtual interviews at all. I was very disappointed.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on our recruitment process. Our team uses feedback like yours to coach and develop our team and improve our technology. I’d like to shed some light on a few things you mention. First, we inquire about your salary expectations early in the recruitment process to make sure we can meet those needs. We know interviewing for a new job takes a lot of preparation and we want to be respectful of your time. You also mention some technical difficulties and I’m sorry those impacted your experience. The capability to interview virtually removes the hassle of travel for many candidates and simplifies the process, though it sounds like there are still a few glitches to work out. Again, I appreciate your feedback and would encourage you to keep in touch with the Recruiter you’ve worked with, whether it be to provide further feedback on your experience or to consider future opportunities. Thank you! —Tammy, Recruiting Manager

      Staff Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Nestlé Purina U.S.

      Interview

      It took months before I received a call but after that the process moved quickly. All questions were behavioral based. You'll receive plenty of information on what to expect from the interview process in their emails. The process went like this: I applied online. Corporate recruiter scheduled a time for a phone screening with me; about an hour. Then I was contacted by the location I applied to for a virtual interview. That took 3-4 hours and spoke with several people who included HR and the manager I would report to. Soon after I was asked to come on-site. There I had a tour and met most of the people who interviewed me in person.
