I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nestlé Purina U.S. (Saint Louis, MO) in Jul 2015
Interview
Applied online for a role and received a call the next day setting up a phone interview. During the phone interview the HR representative also brought up another position that would be a potential fit for me which I was impressed by. I was invited in for in-person interviews within a couple of days. I ended up interviewing two different times for the different roles. Very similar/Same questions in both interviews. Both interviews consisted of 3 groups of 4 behavioral questions . Some interviews were 1:1 others were 2:1. In both cases the interviewers were professional, honest, and friendly. I felt that HR communicated clearly throughout the process and was responsive to all of my questions.
