I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Newell Brands (Whately, MA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin and said the hiring manager was very interested in my background, that they would look to raise the pay to be in line with my current pay, and that there might even be opportunities for me to move into a higher role. They scheduled an interview with the Controller within two days from then.
The interview went well as far as I could tell, although minimal explanation of the role itself. I was told that they were early in the interviewing process and it might be a while before I hear next steps. Controller seemed genuinely happy to meet with me.
After all that, two days later I received an email that they were moving forward with other candidates. Considering all the initial enthusiasm for my background, I don't really get it. I'm not even sure they have other candidates. Really weird and pretty BS. Total waste of time on my part.
