After my application was reviewed, I got to talk to three different managers about the job. They asked a lot of questions about what I'd do in different situations that could come up.

Behavioral Case Technical
The interview process started with an initial call involving HR and a manager. This was followed by a second round with the manager, their superior, and a case study involving an Excel task. The final stage was scheduled to be with the boss of the manager's boss. However, I found the whole process extremely disorganized and chaotic. They failed to follow up as promised and never provided additional information they said they would. What was particularly confusing is that later I applied for a different role at Colgate and they had no record of my previous interview stages or consideration for the other position.
