It was weird that they focused on questions they are familiar, but not even related to the position. Technical round was fun, behavioral round is tedious and they showed no interest at all.
short phone interview followed by half a day at the site. Included talking to the manager, 1-2 people from the scientific team and also the HR. The staff were really friendly. They started by discussing the position and the potential role of a scientist
Just had an initial screening where the recruiter asked me about my past experience, and the recruiter took more than 5 weeks and several reminders to let me know they found someone more suitable
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Philips (Hamburg) in Jun 2020
Interview
Three interviews:
1. phone call with a recruiter
2. phone call with two hiring manager
3. Onsite interview (see below)
- The application process was long (about 2 1/2 months with insufficient communication)
- No information on how to handle Covid-19 and other procedures (in comparison, other companies have communicated explicit procedures and have addressed limitations due to the current situation)
Procedure of the onsite interview:
- Interview with management (approx. 1h) + technical presentation (approx. 30 + 45 min)
The management said goodbye after the first part, so I had to give my presentation alone as a video call (since the other employees were still in the home office because of Corona).
