The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Deerfield, IL) in Mar 2016
Interview
Initial interview was with recruiter. She is incredibly rude. I think walgreens should reconsider her as the initial point of contact for them.
Hiring managers were amazingly friendly and so accommodating! I did phone interview with them for second round and did face to face in third with them as well.
I wish I had another point of contact rather than the recruiter. I would have given the offer more serious consideration. But the whole experience was marred by her. And I'm terrified that it might be a reflection of the company that allows someone like that to represent them.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me a time you had to handle a difficult customer.
Multi stage interview consisting of screen, hiring manager and multiple panels. Relatively standard but a lot of questions around the role and situational scenarios on how projects and leadership should be conducted

initial screening call with recruiter, 1-1 video interview with manager on team (about your experience/background), final round is a panel interview (first 30-min are with 2 people (asking you questions about yourself), you present your deck for 10 min, then 10 min q&a, then final 30 min interview with other 2 panelists.

Question 1
What is one project/task you completed that you feel most proud of?
Behavioral questions and you go through recruiter screen, first round, and final round is a “surprise” case give 24 hours before. Seems like they’re screening more to see how you handle pressure and large workload rather than quality and skill. Also I was told not to spend “more than 1-2 hours” on it which was unrealistic given the case (in my opinion). To each their own, just wasn’t a fit for me.
