I applied online. I interviewed at Sargento (Elkhart Lake, WI) in Feb 2026
Interview
Phenomenal interview process. First round phone interview with their recruiter. Second round interview was on-site consisting of two one-hour long interviews with various engineers, managers, and directors. They flew me out and covered all expenses. All communication was very timely. Although I didn't get an offer, they informed me they were moving on with other candidates within a week of my on-site interviews and they set the bar on how interview processes should be executed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk us through your resume.
What interests you in Sargento?
No feedback and next day thanks but no thanks. So not really sure why rejected when qualified for the position. I always get interview but just with hiring manager that takes notes and passes them on. Would be better to talk to the hiring manager for the department.
Very straightforward. Questions such as why you want the internship, what got you interested in product development, and questions about the resume. You will learn about the hiring process, and they will let you know exactly when you should hear back, granted you are selected for remaining in the hiring pool.
