I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Colgate-Palmolive (New York, NY) in Nov 2014
Interview
I applied on campus and the first round was a phone interview. Not conversational at all, basically just ask and answer. It was about 15-20 mins but I felt it went very quick. The questions were all behavior questions, but some of my friends got accounting questions. I would say the interview was easy, but I was not well-prepared.
