Long interview process. You will speak with multiple people in different departments since this is a cross-functional position. Each interviewer will have a different style of interview, from the more classic to more conversational.

I went through two phone screenings with Gorton’s, which went smoothly, and was then invited onsite. The company arranged my hotel, flights, and car service, and confirmed that all travel-related expenses (including Uber and meals) would be reimbursed. The onsite consisted of back-to-back interviews with HR, the food science team, and a VP. While everyone was professional, the process felt disorganized—many of the same questions were repeated multiple times, suggesting a lack of coordination in their system. Unfortunately, after the interviews, communication completely stopped. Despite HR confirming reimbursements, I had to submit my expense form twice, and after two months I still haven’t received any reimbursement or responses. Overall, while the initial stages seemed promising, the experience ended with ghosting and an unresolved reimbursement issue.
