I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Firmenich (Plainsboro, NJ) in Apr 2016
Interview
Talked to 3 different managers. Bakery, Beverage, Collections. and they were very inviting. gave me a tour and asked if I needed anything. Interview took 2.5 hours. Some of their questions were the same but they were easy enough to answer and apply them to myself being that I had no experience in the field
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Firmenich in Jan 2013
