Began with 2 phone screens: HR and hiring manager, then brought on site to formally interview with the hiring manager and rest of the team. Process was very straightforward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Baxter? Why that specific business? What are you looking to do in your next role? Relevant experience that applies to the role.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Baxter in Jan 2018
Interview
Screened by RPO HR agency who put me through 5-6 rounds of interviews with Hiring (1), Peers (2), HR (2), P&L Leader (1-2) in Global and Asia Offices. There were also some last minutes changes of interviewer cancelling within 12hr of notice (note there is time difference ). I felt that hiring was usual stuffs at interview but the rest were merely checkpoints, a poor showing of trust or confidence in what type of employees it is looking for?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Baxter in Aug 2013
Interview
Phone interview as the initial screening process, then about 10 one on one interviews either face to face or videoconference. I interviewed with several people on the team including the VP of the business unit and a few directors on other brands within the franchise. The process only took a few weeks from start to finish. The interview experience was really great. I got to chat with a wide range of folks which gave me a great sense of the culture of the team. Honestly, I think the background check was one of the longest parts of the process (about 2 weeks).

Question 1
I had a lot of questions about previous experience and how it would transfer to the current role. I also received a lot of questions regarding my ability to think strategically and also execute on tactics. A lot of behavioral questions--tell me about a time when you had to differentiate your product from competitors. Tell me about how you've used data to tell a story. What do you expect to accomplish in 3--60-90 days? What do you think your biggest challenges will be? The most unexpected question was "who is your hero?"
