Interview
phone interview with an HR representative and then another with someone from operations. Onsite interview consisted of two groups of 2 people asking the basic questions on leadership. Was told I'd hear back in a week or two, but didn't hear anything for over 2 months.
They didn't take care of traveling expenses when traveling to on-site interviews and cost me a few hundred dollars for the process.

Interview
I have my final interview next week. Previously, I meet a recruiter at a Veterans Hiring Fair. I pursued her after our initial discussion. I had one phone interview with her which consisted of me telling her about a time I improved a process, my basic leadership philosophy and a review of my resume. My second interview was with an "industry professional", a senior ops manager. His questions were the same- tell me about a time you improved a process, how do you motivate, your leadership style, and a review of my resume. After some scheduling confusion, I am flying to Indianapolis for my final interview. So far I had to prepare answers to 4 simple case study questions (they ask you to spend no more than an hour working on them). Additionally, the recruiter put me in touch with 2 recent hires and 1 area manager. They all gave me great insight into the interview process and were supportive and answered all questions I had. The recruiter was supportive, and provided me lots of study material and gave constructive criticism that helps a ton. Wish me luck!

Interview
They take you to the shipping warehouse with a bunch of people. They give you a math test, then one by one they take you into the offices of the employees. Just relax, be yourself and you should be fine.
