I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Veolia (Port Arthur, TX) in May 2020
Interview
The interview process is fairly simple with a panel of 3 to 5 employees in the facility that may or may not be in direct alignment with the department you are interviewing to work in. This interview could contain people you will only speak to or even see once if not very rarely. This company has been known to promise one thing and go a completely opposite direction when you're actually hired, so be wary of any "assurances" and "benefits." Also, they say they stress the importance of knowledge and experience with certain methods and instruments. This is not completely accurate. I have worked with people who are not at all familiar with the work we do who thrive after proper training and, inversely, with those who say they've worked in similar fields and have almost no idea what's going on half the time. Finally, and most importantly: DO NOT TRUST A WORD management says. If you're ever lucky enough to have a non-leadership employee in your panel, listen and look at them. They will tell you everything you need to know without saying a word.

Question 1
How familiar are you with [instrumentation] or [analyzation method]?
Phone interview with recruiter, panel interview with location team then final interview with HR. It was a quick process overall. There was not any hard technical questions as they wanted to get to know you and see if you’ll be a great fit.

I had two interviews and had a great experience with both. The first one was virtual, and the 2nd was in person. I learned a lot about the position and the environment.
