      Machine Operator Interview

      Apr 17, 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Aberdeen, SD
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at 3M (Aberdeen, SD) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      I applied, I called in a few times to see if they looked at my application, but they not yet and they'd get back to me. It took weeks to a month, but then I got a call back. I went in and took a logic/mechanical aptitude test and an ethics type questionnaire where it gives a situation and asks how you would personally respond (it looks at both your moral attitude and temperament in situations.) I was then interviewed by two employees. I then waited for a week to a few weeks to hear back from them and they gave me a job offer contingent on a physical and drug test and background check.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You are asked some typical questions like what is your greatest strength or weakness, etc., but they also ask some questions trying to figure out how you react to adversity, authority, and how you view your work and responsibility to the company. They are looking for conscientious and ethical employees.

      North Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at 3M (North Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      The supervisors i interviewed with were extremely friendly,professional and made me feel very welcome,the questions were mostly safety orientated because that is 3M's biggest concern,how safe an employee is ...then they moved on to talk about production and about holding the non-productive employees accountable and also about your personal integrityat work,the culture seems very employee orientated and woulld be a great place to retire from.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      they asked..."what would you do if you encountered a fellow employee who wasnt pulling his/her weight and was doing just enought to get by?"
