I applied online. I interviewed at Philip Morris International
Interview
People I spoke with were all very pleasant throughout the interview experience, and were very open and excited to discuss the direction of the company was going to. The entire process took 2 weeks and consisted of a phone interview, an online assessment, and a panel interview.
Started out with a 30 minute phone interview with the recruitment team. It was a very open conversation and skewed more towards past performance and fit for the role (skills-wise).
This was followed by an online assessment which was shorter than what other companies have. It's basically a qualitative and quantitative assessment and I found it quite easy. There was also a personality and motivations portion, to assess company fit.
Next was also the final one, which was a panel interview of sorts with the hiring manager, a manager from another team, and the recruiter. While we went through the usual stuff, I could tell she was looking strongly at team fit and personal motivations.
