I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Medline Industries (Northfield, IL) in Apr 2022
Interview
Had an initial call with a recruiter that went well and had an interview scheduled quickly with a manager. Interview with the manager was a typical interview in terms of questions asked. Sent multiple thank you’s to everyone and no responses. Typical corporate process of no feedback no appreciation of the candidates time and an automated message after three weeks. I was not in the market for a job but took an interview because they reached out to me.

Question 1
What was a difficult task you had to overcome and how did you handle it?
I applied through university. I interviewed at Medline Industries
Interview
All behavioral questions, total of 4 rounds. HR screening, hiring manager, hiring manager boss, and then their boss. All situational questions, was fairly easy and conversational. Have story banks ready
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Medline Industries (Northfield, IL) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of 7 rounds spread over a couple of weeks. Each interviewer was professional and courteous, but the process became increasingly repetitive, especially after meeting with the same hiring manager twice and being asked similar behavioral questions multiple times. After more than five hours of interviews, I received only a generic rejection email with no feedback. For a non–entry level position, that lack of communication and closure was disappointing and not reflective of the level of professionalism I expected from a company of Medline’s size and reputation.
When a candidate commits to 7 rounds of interviews, receiving only a generic rejection feels dismissive and unprofessional. The time and effort I invested warranted at least a brief, thoughtful response or basic feedback. Providing that level of courtesy is a fundamental part of HR's role and would have reflected far better on the company.
