I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company (Toronto, ON) in May 2017
Interview
Applied online on Coca-Cola's career website. I got an email 2-3 weeks later asking if I had time to set up a phone interview.
Phone interviewer was asking general questions regarding the position, salary expectations and past work experience. Three days later, I got a call to schedule an in-person meeting.
The in-person panel was with two district sales managers in STAR format. It was a very laid back interview and the interviewers kept it very loose. They asked me about past experience, how I got to where I was today, what makes me different than the other candidates applying for the role, favorite Coca-Cola product, as well as salary expectations. Lastly, they gave me an option if I wanted to do the role-play (which I opted in for) and left the room to give me about 10 minutes to prepare. Aced the role-play and we discussed when the soonest start date could be, and if I had any questions.
Very easy if you've done the sales before or have previous knowledge to this position.
I received a formal offer 2 business days after my interview. There was room for negotiation and got my asking based on previous experience.
Please read the other interviews - they helped me prepare for this interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company
Interview
Started with HR and then they did a phone screen. From there you went to a live interview. Very thorough and had a live portion of selling. Role playing. After the acceptance letter you had to clear a background check, which did take some time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Here are different products and a scenario and then you had to role play.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company (Spirit Lake, IA) in Mar 2019
Interview
Very interactive. A couple screening phone calls by HR. Had to do a live sales call. Otherwise standard interview. HR was very engaged out of Chicago and was a great experience for such a big company.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company in Sep 2017
Interview
Referred by an employee/friend. They sent me their referral link and I applied online. The process was fast but because they were trying to hire and interview before the buy out I believe. I don't believe it is normally this quick. I applied Thursday and by Friday I had a phone screen scheduled for Monday.
The phone interview was with someone from HR, very typical and average. We talked about my experiences and current role. She did ask me one behavior based questions and I had to answer in STAR format. It was probably about 20 minutes, we scheduled an in person interview while on the phone. HR will send you some information on STAR format answers and a page on Coca Cola values that the questions will be based off.
The in person interview was with the district manager and also a current market development manager. Both were very nice and welcoming. They asked me a few basic questions regarding my resume and why Coke. Then there were 3 behavior based questions, must answer clearly in the STAR format. I will say, the questions were a bit confusing and I wish I would have taken more time to think and make sure I answered all of it. They were one of those questions that had like 3 questions in 1. I could have done better, so a tip would be to have them repeat the question and make sure you take the time to think about your answer and how you can answer all the questions clearly.
Next, there was a role play. They give you a situation and some background info and 10 minutes to prepare. They leave the room.
