I was flown out to the Bay Area for a three day recruitment conference with this company. The experience was amazing. They wined and dined us every night and we had an excellent chance to interact with employees and other candidates in a variety of social situations. It is clear that the Gallo culture is a special one and it really shines through their people.

I applied online and heard back from the recruiter the very next day. The interview took place a week later and lasted about 30 minutes. The recruiters were really nice, however, it seemed more like they had been trained to be nice rather than being genuinely nice and interested in you. The interview was pretty fast paced and they mainly asked questions about leadership experience. Many of their questions were follow-up based, meaning they asked questions based on your answer to their previous question. They also asked you to go through your resume and your highlights, which in all honesty, it seemed like they hadn't even looked at before the interview. Although I was really stoked about this opportunity at first, I didn't quite like the bit of insincerity I could sense during the interview. Consequently, this made me question whether or not I would really like to work for this company. I could also tell based on the interview that I wasn't suited for this program because they seem to be looking for a very specific type of leadership, which makes sense. Either way, the interview process was pretty okay and like most interviews, although I haven't ever felt that slight ungenuine vibe from any other recruiter I've interviewed with before.
