I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pernod Ricard North America (New York, NY) in May 2018
Interview
I received an email from HR requesting that I take a HireVue video interview. For anyone who has not taken a HireVue interview - it's simple. I logged in, answered 5 questions into the camera, and hit submit. It was way easier (and more fun) than a traditional recruiter phone screen. Next I had a phone interview and then an on-site interview.
Last, I participated in a 6 hour behavioral assessment (I believe this is only director level and above). At first I was a little intimated (the pre-work took a few hours) but when the day arrived for the behavioral assessment I thought it was really fun. It was fast, intense, and really made me critically think - but very fun.

Question 1
Why am I interested in Pernod Ricard USA? (I always try to answer this outside of the box with companies - my advice is to think of a reason that no one else will give)
Started with HireView video interview during which I was asked specifically for salary expectations. Final stage of interview was a day long behavior assessment. Overall, it was a drawn out, tedious process. A huge time commitment.

Question 1
Salary expectations were asked for during HireView.
Moves quickly and gives an opportunity to see the great culture and meet peers. There is a long test required for offer but in the end it helps to grow you as an individual once you join.

Interview
Applied for a position via linked in. A recruiter reached out to me with an email and a call was set up for the following. 20minute, very general discussion about position and my background. Was sent a link for a video interview and it was here where it all went downhill. You log into the system and it asked you questions and your video and responses are recorded and sent...somewhere. Very cold and impersonal. Asking a senior management candidate to do this is just bad practice. Perhaps for mass interviews for hourly employees or interns, ok, not upper management. It came across as the company being lazy or trying to rely too much on technology. I was so turned off by the process I didn’t have very much enthusiasm for the next step. I decided that I wouldn’t pursue the role despite the feedback.
