An in-house recruiter called me for phone interview and asked a lot of behavioral questions. I was called back for face to face interview 2 weeks later. I interviewed in one day with 3 individuals separately. I am an experienced individual and over 35. It because completely apparent to me immediately that I was too old for them. The other candidates were 10-15 years younger and I could see their interviews lasting a lot longer than mine. The interviewers asked the same behavioral questions which were preprinted from a corporate interview guide. It was impersonal and cold. The interviewers spend all of their time face down writing verbatim what I was telling them. I recognized that Purina is a "good place to start a career" meaning they want young employees. I have never faced age discrimination and always get the jobs I interview for. Not this time. I could feel the discrimination from each interviewer. One of the interviewers asked me in a sneaky way if I would be willing to move somewhere else for a position which in the CPG world is a way for them to build reason not to hire someone. Just be warned if you are over 30 that your age is going to be a factor here. One of the interviewers was a Regional Manager overseeing multiple states and he was only about 27-28. The unfortunate truth here is that CPG companies don't want older experienced employees....and I'm not even 40 and could tell what was happening. As for the culture, I think it's your typical large CPG organization that is very structured and full of policy and rules. In all honesty this was the WORST interview process I'd ever gone through just because they interviewers were so bad at it and didn't make the effort to "connect" with the candidate which is much more important than writing down verbatim what someone is saying about a behavioral situation.
