Interviewing at Coca-Cola in late July for a finance/strategy role and trying to build an accurate picture of what the process looks like right now.
I've read some older stuff from 2022-2023 but I know these processes shift. Would really appreciate if people could drop: what role/function, how many rounds, rough timeline from recruiter screen to offer/rejection, and any surprises. Even just a data point helps.
I'll add my own once I'm through it.
supply chain planning role, Q4 2024. recruiter screen, then a video panel with 2 supply chain leaders (behavioral only, no case), then a final round with the director that included a 15-min Excel-based scenario they sent a day before. 4 weeks total. offer came fast once I cleared the final.
financial analyst role, early 2025. 3 rounds: recruiter, one behavioral with hiring manager, one case-style with finance director. case was a profitability scenario, pretty standard, more about structured thinking than getting a number exactly right. about 3.5 weeks start to finish.
super helpful, thank you. was the Excel scenario prep-heavy or more of a light sanity check?
it was a sanity check more than anything. they gave me a cleaned dataset and asked me to build a simple waterfall and highlight what I'd flag for the leadership team. an hour to prep, then we talked through it. nothing crazy.
worth noting: the experience varies a lot by geography and business unit. HQ Atlanta roles (corporate functions, global brands) tend to be the most structured. regional ops roles can be more informal with fewer rounds. don't assume your loop will look exactly like anyone else's.
