Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Koppers (Pittsburgh, PA) em out. de 2021
Entrevista
Started with a phone screen with HR. Then I made it to the Teams Meeting (this was during Covid) and was interviewed by a panel: the Director of Corporate Engr, Process Dev Manager, and the Senior Process Engineer who was retiring from the role. Interview was supposed to be an hour but went to 1.5 hrs. Asked me mainly bs behavior-based questions and I had to respond with a cookbook STAR answer. They basically looked snobbishly at me like they never wanted to even talk to me the whole time. They probably were thinking I was way too young since the engineer I would be replacing was retiring with 30+ years. The job posting said 10+ yrs experience which I had, but if they wanted 20+ yrs they should've just made that clear. Anyways, this job was going to be less money with a lower-brand company, so it didn't matter I didn't get the offer.

Entrevista
My experience with Koppers was one of the most horrible experiences I have ever had with any company ever. I applied to this role back in the beginning of March of 2024 through a recruiting company. I went through 4 rounds of interviews. A screening call, a first interview with the team, THREE different writing and graphic design tests, and finally an interview with the VP. After ALL of these steps and a full month of my time I was offered the position and only given a few hours to accept the role, which I did do. I also made it entirely clear with the team from day one of the process that I would be on a family vacation for a portion of this process and I would be in a completely different timezone with a 6hr difference, but I still completed an interview while on vacation because I was repeatedly told that I had excellent feedback and I was the top applicant. After accepting my offer and beginning the onboarding paperwork the next week, I received a call from my recruiter that said "Koppers has done some internal reviews and they have decided to not move forward with this position." So not only did they not have they decency to speak to me personally regarding the sudden dismissal of my role, but I was basically given no information as to WHY I was suddenly let go before the role could even start! Koppers and this team wasted an entire month of my life for a job that they ultimately decided was not even needed. What a blatant disregard of my time and the other applicants time. I am extremely disgusted with how this was handled.
