Experience:

A candidate for a Derivatives Trading role at Cargill described an interview process that began with an online application. After two weeks, HR contacted the candidate for a 15-minute phone screen, which was conducted on the spot. The next day, the candidate received an email inviting them for an in-office interview with the head of trading. The in-office interview, lasting 45 minutes, was conducted by HR and the Hiring Manager. This round was primarily focused on behavioral and fit questions, with no significant technical questions. Examples of questions included "Tell me a time..." and "how would your old boss describe you?" The interviewers also took time to answer the candidate's questions, provided next steps, and escorted them out. The overall experience suggests a structured approach to assessing cultural fit and past experiences.
