Presentation
Interview
I was contacted for a first round interview the day after I applied through my college's recruiting program. I go to an Ivy League School. The first round was behavioral questions (why mcmaster, what do you know about us, tell us about a leadership experience) Then I was flown out to the corporate HQ. The first hour was the tour of the facility with an ex-goldman alum where I was asked thought questions along the way (how do you think this box got here, why do we organize our warehouse this way, why do we have a special review team for orders over $10,000)
Interview Questions
The thought questions really force you to think about the company's business model and operations. McMaster-Carr likes to be a secret so there's no real way to learn the answers to the questions beforehand and you just have to pay attention to the tour.

Phone Interview
Interview
I had a telephone interview, and it was all behavioral questions, with a special emphasis on the leadership work I'd done in the past. The hiring person was very, very tough and pushed back about my leadership experience, why I decided to do it, where it fit in with my future, and where I failed, etc. They in particular didn't like one of my leadership posts and so they kept grilling me about it to the point where 15 minutes in we were talking about the same thing and it got very, very frustrating.
