Student Trainee (Summer Internship) at Philips Electronics
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Hong Kong (Hong Kong) Apr 2012 – Reviewed Dec 14, 2012
Interview Details –
The interview process consists of 2 stages: Group assessment and individual manager interview.
The group assessment was fun and relaxing. I was in a group of eight. It started with a brief self-introduction for about 1.5 minutes. Then we were given an individual task to give a 3-minute presentation to illustrate ourselves with an animal. We were allowed to have around 1 minute for preparation. The final task was an one-hour debate between 2 teams of four on a designated topic. There were time for us to discuss and prepare every time before presenting, where managers took their time to observe our teamwork and communication skills.
The individual manager interview was fairly straight-forward. It was largely based on your CV. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. For me, the interviewer was also the manager that I had to report to consequently during my summer internship.
Interview Question – The team debate was long and required good collaboration among your team. It was easy to lose concentration. Answer Question
