I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Hershey Company in Apr 2016
Interview
The first step isn't a phone interview or a skype interview. Rather, they have you do a pre-recorded video interview. Regardless of the questions, this is a terrible way to start a relationship with a candidate.
After submitting the recorded video, I was told I would hear back within a week. After waiting for a week, it took a follow-up call to find out that I was "not in the first round of interviews". It wasn't until several weeks beyond that that I received an email telling me I was not progressing further.
Pre-recorded interviews are terrible, and tell the candidate that they may not be worth the company's time.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Johor Bahru) in Nov 2023
Interview
Good process and had time to prepare for the interview. The interviewers were very friendly. Staff there were welcoming. Interview length was fine too. The environment was clean and nice.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
I interviewed at the NSHMBA conference with two Hershey HR professionals. I was asked five behavioral based questions, which required S.T.A.R. responses. Overall, the interview went well. I sent my thank you letters and follow up emails 2 weeks after the interview. Hershey could have done better responding in my opinion. Sadly, I did get a rejection email after a few weeks letting me know I didn't get the offer. I was still very impressed with Hershey and their leadership involved in the hiring process.
