I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Newell Brands
Interview
Was pretty quick, spoke to several related team members over two weeks. Didn’t have to complete a take home assignment or submit work. Spoke to hiring manager in first 30 min interview and then second round was with 5 people I would be working with. Second role interviews were 30 min each, total of 2.5 hours.

Question 1
Experience in hiring field, experience being in a position new to company
The VP who interviewed me was the most honest interviewer that I've ever had. She was very truthful about the current state of the company and the department, describing the challenges and the giving her perspective on the future of the company.

Describe a time you had to give constructive feedback to a direct report.
I applied online. I interviewed at Newell Brands (Atlanta, GA) in May 2017
Interview
Pre-screen with Talent Acquisition went fine. 3 days later a call with a SVP who started the conversation saying "I have a hard stop in 30 mins" and "I want to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into". The first 25 mins was a review of his career and what type of team he wanted to build and the next 5 mins was him asking me questions. 3 days later I received the email that he felt others were a better fit for his team. I have 20+ years experience in the job I applied for at Fortune 100 companies larger than Newell. Interesting how someone could come to that conclusion on a 5 minute conversation.
I honestly feel like I dodged a bullet on this one.
