Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter about a week later. We scheduled a phone interview twice. The first time, I tried contacting her on the day of the interview but couldn't reach her. We rescheduled the interview for another day and I tried calling her at the time she requested, she picked up and told me she thought the interview was scheduled for another time. Finally, I was asked about 5 questions during the phone interview. After the interview, I was told that she will send my information to the hiring manager in my city and if I was shortlisted, I would be invited for an in-person interview. A few days later, I received a video interview request via email to do an interview for the position on kiratalent.com. Which was weird because I wasn't told that this was another step in the process. The video interview was probably the worst interview I have ever had. You are given 4 questions, 30 seconds to prepare after you view each question, and 90 seconds to respond in detail. I almost bit my tongue from trying to talk quickly. Not sure what the next step is from here, but overall it's been a weird experience.

Question 1
Tell me about your previous roles and experiences and how they apply to the position you applied for.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company
Interview
Started with HR and then they did a phone screen. From there you went to a live interview. Very thorough and had a live portion of selling. Role playing. After the acceptance letter you had to clear a background check, which did take some time.

Question 1
Here are different products and a scenario and then you had to role play.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company (Spirit Lake, IA) in Mar 2019
Interview
Very interactive. A couple screening phone calls by HR. Had to do a live sales call. Otherwise standard interview. HR was very engaged out of Chicago and was a great experience for such a big company.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company in Sep 2017
Interview
Referred by an employee/friend. They sent me their referral link and I applied online. The process was fast but because they were trying to hire and interview before the buy out I believe. I don't believe it is normally this quick. I applied Thursday and by Friday I had a phone screen scheduled for Monday.
The phone interview was with someone from HR, very typical and average. We talked about my experiences and current role. She did ask me one behavior based questions and I had to answer in STAR format. It was probably about 20 minutes, we scheduled an in person interview while on the phone. HR will send you some information on STAR format answers and a page on Coca Cola values that the questions will be based off.
The in person interview was with the district manager and also a current market development manager. Both were very nice and welcoming. They asked me a few basic questions regarding my resume and why Coke. Then there were 3 behavior based questions, must answer clearly in the STAR format. I will say, the questions were a bit confusing and I wish I would have taken more time to think and make sure I answered all of it. They were one of those questions that had like 3 questions in 1. I could have done better, so a tip would be to have them repeat the question and make sure you take the time to think about your answer and how you can answer all the questions clearly.
Next, there was a role play. They give you a situation and some background info and 10 minutes to prepare. They leave the room.
