I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Deerfield, IL) in Jul 2018
Interview
The initial phone interviews were good (recruiter and reporting manager/team). Both instances were pretty good. The call with the reporting manager & team was a bit intensive but relatively simple. All-in-all, I felt I answered all questions (both from a technical and business perspective) pretty well.
The reason for the negative rating was when I went in for a face to face meeting. I was supposed to meet up with the reporting manager (Director actually) and he was a no-show.
When interviewing for a management position, ghosting a possible candidate shows a lack of professionalism. I stuck around for 20 min then left extremely disappointed.
A week later, a director of recruitment called me to apologize. A bit late but I was grateful for that call. But to allow Directors to operate in this manner shows that Walgreens is not the company I would want to work for.

I applied online. I interviewed at Walgreens (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Interview consisted of three 30 minute discussions with three separate people. It was hard to get a feel for the work and the culture in such a short amount of time. Interviews are a two-way decision and there needs to be more opportunity for candidate to get a full picture of what they are coming to.
