Anonymous Employee in Montreal, QC
I applied online. I interviewed at BAT (Montreal, QC)
1. Phone interview with recruiter 2. in-depth interview with managers (1 hour) 3. Virtual half-day session, split between group presentation and individual case studies. The first part was a group presentation; we were given a brief and had to work together to present a final recommendation. This was all about teamwork and how you work with others to accomplish a task under pressure. Next were a couple of individual case studies, where we had time to prepare with the background information given and present our recommendations once again. 4. Phone call on the final status of the interview process.

Was invited for the interview after BAT reached out to me on social media, but it was never scheduled. BAT never learns. I followed up with the HR responsible, but no response from the HR either over email or on social media. Extremely unhappy with the way they conduct business here.
