I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Uline in Aug 2016
Interview
I was contacted by phone initially. The conversation was very minimal. I was asked to confirm my highest level of education and then scheduled for an in-person interview.
I was asked to complete a series of 4 online assessments prior to the in-person interview. One was a DISC assessment which is fine but the second one was completely irrelevant to the job I was interviewing for as the questions were centered around a retail environment; asking me things like how I would know when a customer was going to purchase the product and why it's important to greet every customer when they walk into the store.
Upon arriving for the in-person interview I was asked to complete 2 timed tests. I found these quite irrelevant as well as one of them asked me to complete 50 questions based on mathematical series. The second one had 200 questions, each with a pair of numbers which you had to indicate if it was the same number or not. You had 4 minutes to complete each test which is near impossible if you wanted to be accurate.
I was then told that the person I was to meet with wasn't there and I was to meet another gentleman instead. The interview was very short, maybe about 20 minutes (it was as if they did the phone interview bit in-person).
They explained that they were looking for more of a fit than someone with just the qualifications which is fair.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Uline (Milwaukee, WI) in Apr 2014
Interview
The process was very thorough; included three written/cognitive evaluations, two in-person behavioral screening interviews off-site, and an intense on-site interview with head of HR and a Sr. Recruiter. Every new hire is then evaluated and interviewed personally by Elizabeth Uihlein; who based on gut-feel will make or break a hire.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Delved into work ethic, people skills, communication skills (written and aural), and asked questions that pertained to one's own view of one's strengths and weaknesses. "What would your last boss say was your best strength and your most apparent weakness?"
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uline (Naperville, IL) in Nov 2014
Interview
I had to complete the online application, the DISC profile, Meyers Briggs, and complete a memo writing sample prior to a phone interview. I asked if Relocation was available when I set up the phone interview and the person told me she didn't know but wanted me to interview anyway. I had to complete everything prior to the initial interview and had about 24 hours to complete. After the initial interview I was sent a request to disclose diversity etc., and then I received a rejection letter. It was a terrible experience.
