Nestlé USA Sales Representative Interview Questions
& Process

The recruiter was really nice and talked a lot about company benefits instead of interviewing me. They said we'd start with introductions, but instead, they asked why I left my old jobs. The recruiter told me my introduction was too long, about 15 minutes, and should have been 7-8 minutes, so I didn't feel like I got to introduce myself properly. The recruiter also gave me nearly two pages of notes for the next interview, telling me exactly what to say and do after I got the offer to move forward. They liked my personality but said to keep my answers short and avoid details, which is hard because I'm from the South and tend to talk a lot and overexplain when trying to impress. I also had to research the other two recruiters and the company for the second interview within about 14 hours, which isn't much time to get to know people and a company. I think I could have done better if I'd had a chance to introduce myself and more time to prepare for the camera team interview. It seems like a good company, but definitely research it before applying and know a lot beforehand so you have less to study if you move forward.

What a joke. They contacted me for an interview and I did great. They said I'd hear back in a few days, but a week went by with no word. I emailed HR, and they replied a week later saying they hired someone else. Then they called me for another senior sales role and set up a phone interview. When I called in, the HR manager had apparently forgotten and didn't have time. They rescheduled, but didn't give me any details. I ended up speaking with a different HR manager over the phone. She said she'd let me know the outcome the next week via email or a call to move to round 2... and guess what... nothing! No call, no email, just silence. I would never work there even if they begged. This is the most unprofessional HR department I've ever dealt with.

Had a phone interview that was a very brief intro type of questions about my background and education. Then had a field interview where I went out with the sales manager and discussed the job while out in the market. Finally, I had 1-on-1 interviews and also a panel interview for the final round.
