Interviewed Nov 2011 in New Brunswick, NJ (took 2 days)

The first round interview was at a job conference in California which was a 2-on-1 interview. They asked me behavioral questions and some technical questions based on my resume. The interviewers were very professional and friendly. Five days later I received a call for an invitation to second round interviews in New Brunswick. It was a two day event, with the first day as a chance to meet the current ITLDP'ers and the second day for interviews. There were two panel interviews, each with a 5 minute presentation to be given at the beginning. At the beginning of the second interview you are also presented with a business case you have to solve about how you would manage a technology team given a set of circumstances.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2+ months)

the recruiter called me and said it would be almost instantly that the hiring manager
had asked for me specifically, and that it should be a short time before I was hired.
I was working for them as a temporary employee.

My contract assignment ended, the recruiter never told me any further steps and I could not reach the recruiter by phone or email, after having left him 4 messages. No response at all.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 4+ weeks)

The first round of interview was conducted with an HR person, who had a script/list of questions to ask from. It was quite mechanical - after I answered the interviewer would record my answers on a sheet of paper and moved on to the next question without any follow up. All questions were behavioral questions asking me about my teamwork/leadership experiences as well as the typical "why J&J". Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I thought the interview went really well based on the interviewer's reaction, but unfortunately didn't get invited to the second round.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)

Interviewed at Career Fair, two 1:1 interviews, 45 minutes each. I interviewed with 8 other CPG companies and this was the worst in terms of interviewer attitude. The 1st guy was rude and wanted to argue about everything. The other lady who interviewed with me seemed indifferent and bored. I was extended a 2nd round interview but declined. The questions were mostly fit questions, such as tell me about a time your actions made a difference in the company's marketing plan, but there was about 2 case questions, such as if you were a brand, what would you be and why & what brand do you think is great and why. How does this brand use different touchpoints to connect with their consumers?

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)

After being selected for an interview, via my school's career network, I went in for the single round, 1on1 (2on1 for my friends). It was pretty simple, almost all behavioral STAR type questions. Was pretty conversation based, and not too many "tell me about a time" questions. One technical question: you're the CFO and sales are declining b/c of a down economy. you can't fix sales, how do you improve the bottom line?

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New Brunswick, NJ (took a day)

Was interviewed one on one by a HR representative and was asked 5 behavioral questions, each covering a different category. There were some stops and starts due to all of my responses needing to be written down in a booklet, but overall it was a smooth process and the interviewer kept it informal and comfortable.
