Behavioral Presentation
It was a super long process, almost four months. I thought they were still interested because after two phone interviews, two in-person interviews, and another team interview, plus reference and background checks, and then another phone interview that went really well, I got rejected. When I followed up after a week, they said they hired internally. Why waste HR’s and my time? I’m not impressed with this company, even though I love their products. Apparently, Newell often hires internally, which is fine, but why even interview candidates if you plan to promote from within? This was an Account Manager role, not CEO, seriously.

Behavioral Technical
Applied online and then got contacted by an HR rep for a quick phone screening. This screening then led to setting up a Teams interview with the hiring manager for the Writing Division, specifically for the Wakefern, HEB, and Albertsons accounts. When the video interview started, I only saw his initials on a black screen. I asked if he was having video issues, but he said no and that he just wasn't using his video for the call. It was 9 am in CA at the time. I offered to reschedule for a better time, but he declined. He then gave a long intro about himself and asked a few questions. He then mentioned we had about 11 minutes left and asked another question. I put a lot of thought and detail into my answers, and I felt like this wasn't a good interview process.

The interview process was a great experience. There were three rounds in total. One of the rounds involved speaking with potential future teammates to get a feel for the team's culture and to ask any questions I might have.
