Interviewed with hiring manager and HR. Basic competency questions. Given a chance to elaborate past experience. They are friendly and approachable. Lovely people and good experience. Unfortunately the hiring manager has left for her personal choice in life, which is a shame. We all look up to her.

What makes you the candidate the company wants to hire?
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Brenntag
Interview
Positive outcome of detailed exchange by headhunter resulted in the interview with company management, HR with a panel of total 5 interviewers. Friendly atmosphere, yet thorough and detailed challenging. It was a pleasure to discuss the experiences and the match to the role in question
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Brenntag in Sep 2021
Interview
Long gaps between interview steps only to have an interviewer show up completely unprepared -- hadn't reviewed the resume, no interview questions, no real direction for the conversation or understanding of what to ask, critical of other participants in the process.
The whole step was so underwhelming that I withdrew from any further consideration.
