The interview process is very long. For this position, there were four interviews: a phone screen, an in-person manager interview, an in-person team interview, and an in-person CEO interview. On top of that, there was also a two-hour at-home exam. While a thorough interview process can be a good thing, having this many steps can also indicate a lack of communication between teams, especially when the same questions are asked repeatedly. I understand wanting team involvement, but the process could be more efficient. For example, a phone screen, followed by a Zoom interview with both managers and the team, and then a final in-person interview with the CEO would save time while still covering all necessary aspects. I also want to note that the team was very nice. The CEO, however, was a little awkward, which made me feel awkward, but other than that, everyone was very kind. The interviews themselves weren’t necessarily difficult, but the overall process was lengthy, which is why I rated the interview difficulty as “difficult.” The time commitment and multiple steps made it feel more challenging than it needed to be. I didn’t get the position, and that’s okay. However, what initially stood out to me about this company was its motto: Miller Cares—God, Family, & Community. Given that message, I was disappointed when I reached out for feedback on my interview and received a generic response, similar to what most companies provide. That, in itself, was telling. The job market is tough right now, and when companies require such an extensive interview process, it takes up a significant amount of time for candidates. I believe many companies need to rethink their approach—after all, we’re all learning and growing.
