Behavioral Case
The interview process was pretty standard. I applied via a recruiter and then came in for a full day of one-on-one interviews. I met with several brand directors and also HR. Most questions were about how I'd fit into the company culture, though some interviewers asked about my past experience with the required skills and a business case. I was contacted within a week, and they were really helpful and flexible with setting up my relocation. The whole process felt quick and was well-organized.

Presentation Behavioral
Spent most of the day meeting with all marketing directors, trade spending director, HR manager and EVP Marketing. Followed up with recruiter. Did not receive any clear feedback as to whether the position was ever filled and why I was not a fit. Vaugely discussed not being sure what "weight" the ideal candicate would have.
