I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Colgate-Palmolive (Piscataway, NJ) in Jun 2016
Interview
I was contacted by an HR intern through email requesting a phone call the next day on a Friday. Although she was busy at the time she asked me to call her, the following Monday we spoke. I first had a brief phone interview regarding Colgate-Palmolive, my resume, and my experience. Later the same day, the interviewer called me to come in the following day for an hour and a half. I had three thirty minute interviews back-to-back. The first was with the HR intern and another woman from HR, and the second two interviews were two people interviewing me from the Production and IT team. Most of the questions were behavioral, but the technical questions did not apply to their area of work, so those were skipped. They were all very nice and very responsive to questions.
