Interviewed Aug 2011 in Berlin, Berlin (Germany) (took 3 weeks)
First I was contacted in LinkedIn by a recruiter, I sent me CV and we schedule a phone interview with the hiring manger, one week later they contact me for a panel interview, i had to do a BS- personality -IKnowWohYuAreTest-.
I meet 4 guys from the department, all were senior engineers the question vary from wide technical to specialized RF question, at the end the HR-women jumped in and the party started, i couldnt concentrate because she was very cute :-(
At all, I would say, it was ok!
The hiring process is still ongoing!

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4 weeks)
After I send my application by mail, the first contact was a phone interview where hard technical facts were asked (I guess to filter the people). After that I was invited to a 1:1 Interview where they wanted to know some more about my background (previous employer, previous projects) and technical skills. Later at home I had to attend a personality test via Internet - as preparation for the next interview, which was scheduled 2 weeks later. This interview took 4 hours. One hour each for: personnel manager, project manager, skill tests and finally something to puzzle over. Two days later I had a very goo job offer. The strange things: I was not allowed to see my prospective workplace and they did not plan any time for initial training.

There was 2 phone inteview and 6 on site inteviews. They paid for flight, hotel and dinner. Phone interview was relatively complex, onsite was easy but there was a lot of them. Finally after one month they decline the offer because I am not a social enough :)

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Berlin, Berlin (Germany) (took 2+ weeks)
The interview went all on Phone as I was located in different geography.
There were total of 8 small = big telecon rounds.
Some of the people gave very +ve feedback.
Since, Nokia was in bad shape and due to visa issues, they did not offered me any position.
Most of the interviews from Berlin team but 1-2 were also from London Nokia team
Overall interviews were fine and well timed and planned.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 days)
You do a phone interview initially with the head of HR. If that interview goes well they put you through to the head of the department you will be reporting to. The interview is done well, with relevant practical questions and a very deep interest in getting to know the candidate.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Farnborough, Hampshire, South East England, England (United Kingdom) (took 3 weeks)
Round 1 - Face to Face with hiring manager and peer level manager
After my CV was presented to the client I was invited to have a F2F with the hiring manager and a peer level manager in a similar/same role.
Interview location WAS NOT where location where role would be based.
1) Smalltalk
So from where were you traveling from this morning?
How far is that?
Did you go by train or car?
2) Questions regarding my life, introduction and my personal summary of my CV
I gave an introduction about my career results, aspirations and goals.
Why did you stay in job x for x months only? Was it a contract or permanent position?
What is the ideal job you would like to be in?
What is your biggest accomplishment so far?
What do you think is your strongest skill within Marketing?
How was your work experience at Apple? (Everybody seems to ask this question these days...)
If you would have the choice - would you prefer a permanent role or a contract/interim role? (role interviewed was perm)
What percentage of your current role is program management, how much is marketing, how much is stakeholder management?
How often do you deal with creative agencies and do you like it?
Do you have any questions for us?
Round 2 - phone interview with peer level manager (his focus is channel marketing, distribution, retail)
Do you like Windows Phone?
What is the strongest value you would bring into the team?
You have many program/project management roles on your resume - is this an area you would prefer to work in?
What, in your opinion, is the biggest issue in mobile operator (carrier) marketing these days (rephrased later to: What do you think is important from an operator/carrier perspective?
How can a vendor (like Nokia) create long-term relationships with operators (carriers)?
Environment:
Office
Large amount of hotdesks
Culturally diverse environment
International atmosphere including global travel
Work:
Recognized brand and office is branded
Free coffee/juices in office area
Kitchen equipment can be used by staff (free, but no free food)
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
- I don't believe in the product and/or the marketing approach the company is taking.
- I wasn't happy with the compensation.
- I realized there is more regional travel involved than expected.
- I didn't like the size of operations in that team/department/business unit.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Burlington, MA (took a day)
I was interviewed by five different people that would've been my peers. Except for the initial disucssion with the business manager, the interview teams seemed to lack any real training or preparation in interviewing and the questions seemed haphazard and disorganized. I felt like they were going through the motions of interviewing and that another candidate had already been picked.
The interviewers seemed beaten, tired and lacking energy. A common question that was asked was about how I handled conflict management.
I got a bad feeling about the Nokia given the low energy of the group, and the common question about conflict management.

Interviewed May 2011 in Berlin, Berlin (Germany) (took 2 weeks)
Generally hiring process is OK, they do read CV's when submitting through their job site.
I had 2 interviews with two different people, basically their questions haven't match the position exactly, there were also some tricky questions, answers for which could be really different depending the project. This stuff is quite philosophical, and I didn't feel that interviewers were really confident to ask all needed stuff for this position, also almost no questions regarding my previous experiences. I haven't received an offer but I expected it after this interview process.
