I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Newell Brands (Brampton, ON) in Oct 2023
Interview
It's a very long process. Plus, a lot of internal delays due to multiple rounds of layoffs. - Okay, so, I applied online and was invited to a screening call with the U.S. HR department. The interview lasted under 30 minutes and covered discussions about my experience. Two weeks later, I had a video interview with the hiring manager, which also lasted around 30 minutes. During the interview, we discussed our capabilities and got to know each other. Another two weeks passed before I was asked to prepare a presentation, which I delivered via video call to the hiring manager and general manager. The presentation lasted 45 minutes. Unfortunately, I did not hear back for a couple of weeks and finally received a rejection email. Overall, the interview process was fairly lengthy. I would suggest potential candidates familiarize themselves with recent reviews and interview experiences before applying. Just so you can determine if it's worth it.

Interview
Very time consuming process (over three months) involving several people in the organisation. Unclear alignment in terms of profile expectations between hiring manager and other stakeholders. Factory visit was very interesting.
