Application
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company (Denver, CO) in Jun 2011
Interview
I was asked to interview for position internally. Accepted interview and across the final steps, it was more of a conversation that interview. Typical interviews are STAR format for entry level through mid level management jobs. Candidates are screened by HR for managers before they are given a final pool to trim down and meet with face to face.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Coca-Cola Company (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2009
Interview
I went through multiple rigorous panel interviews where they used Targeted Selection to address specific skill competencies. Overall I did extremely well. They started with 19 candidates and I was the only candidate left at the end of the process. The hiring manager was fantastic. Very personable ane encouraging. So was the local HR manager. I was told repeatedly the job was mine and their challenge was to put together a compelling offer. At the very last second senior mgt decided to place an internal employee in the job. They never even told the hiring manager who is a VP. He was very embarrassed and of course I was out a good job opportunity.
