I interviewed at Linamar
The process is a little intimidating at first with a high level of security but everyone seems friendly. I did have to wait a little longer than I expected but it wasn’t unfair. The interviewers were detailed, friendly, and thorough. Follow through didn’t happen, no call, email or text.
