Interview
The interview process was painless. Dissimilar to some companies the interviewers were nice and personable which made the process as easy as any other conversation. The interview took roughly 30 minutes and there was space allowed at the end to ask any questions. The interviewers were very responsive. The interviewers knew who I was before the interview started which was nice and thoughtful of them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is something you are weak at and how did you work on it?
I applied online. I interviewed at Colgate-Palmolive (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
Basic behavioral interview. Very uninspiring format beginning with "walk me through your resume" followed by a blank stare. I would prefer that the interviewer just ask me to tell them about myelf. Seems more personable and less focused on a document.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Colgate-Palmolive (Piscataway, NJ)
Interview
Mostly behavioral questions. Asked one science technical question but that was about it. Met with the scientist and the managing director. the scientist mainly led the interview, and asked questions from a sheet of paper. Its very basic and they pretty much ask you to tie in how your previous worked applies to this role.
