I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IFF (Union, NJ)
Interview
Phone screening, then schedule onsite interview. For me the entire process took less than a month.
From interview to offer letter it only took a week.
During the process, they never said they wanted to fill fast but boy they work fast and efficiently!
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IFF (Union Beach, NJ)
Interview
One day interview with several people including HR, hiring manager, and other team members under the hiring manager. It was one to one interview and not a behavioral interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IFF (Union Beach, NJ) in Mar 2014
Interview
After an employee referral (Feb. 2014), I had a phone interview with a hiring manager and my future boss. After that, he asked to email him my publications. Two weeks after that, I interviewed 1-on-1 with 5 people. After another two weeks, I was invited to come back for a second interview involving 1-on-1's with 5 people and a presentation of my work. After that, the hiring manager went to a conference to see if there were any other candidates - there were not. Then, in April, I had a phone interview with his boss. I was offered a job at the very end of April. This drawn-out process was due to my manager's old-school mentality and his glacial pace. It does not reflect IFF interviews in general.
