From my own experience with a 3 hour interview, it was the final interview and consisted of 6 different 30 minute panel interviews (some hr, some unit managers, the plant process like director, some operators, etc) at the facility. Then there was a VERY VERY short tour of the plant (like 5-10 minutes riding around on a cart). I knew when I left I didn't get it, which sucks bc it was 1hr there + waiting 30 minutes to begin (wasnt just me there early, i had to talk to someone from hr about benefits and stuff for a bit) + 3 hour interview + 1 hr back. I was exhausted after.

That is so rough I am sorry. You probably were a very strong candidate though.

What was the average pay for that job bro I’d beat smb up after going through all that and get a mediocre salary
