I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Colgate-Palmolive (Petaling Jaya) in Jul 2022
Interview
1. Video submission
2. Group case study interview
3. Final interview.
It went well until I was ghosted after the final interview. It was very disappointing as there wasnt a single call or email telling me i was rejected or not after committing so much time to it. It’s fine if you dont think a candidate is a good fit, but the least you could do is inform them so they can move on instead of wasting time trying to get an update.
