      No offer
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Fastenal (Nashville, TN) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      A test is required to even get an interview. The test is not a hard test, but many people fail it because it can be a little tricky. Once you get past that, you will typically have a phone screening where they just call to get to know you just a little bit before the 1:1 interview.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Dallas, TX) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      a scripted interview, very mechanical, not very much room for improvisation, expected rehearsed and standard interview answers. Met with two managers in an office there were appx 15 questions. The interview took appx 30 minutes. I was passed on to the next interview. It is a three stage process.
