The first interview was a phone screening for about 30 minutes. They talked about the role, what was expected of the candidate, and asked a few questions to see if the candidate is the right fit for the role.

Really weird experience. 1) applied online 2) HR reached out to phone screen 3) spoke with the plant manager 4) flew out for an interview, 3 hours long with 4 groups of people My red flag was when the plant manager asked where I see myself in 5 years, I said something about pursuing a masters degree, and she said “if you expect me to pay you more because you have your masters, you’re wrong”. Everyone else was really nice
