      Finance Controller Interview

      Jul 10, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Basingstoke, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sony (Basingstoke, England) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      Initial telephone screening with HR then face to face interview with hiring manager, HR and current cover for the role. For the face to face interview, I was ‘greeted’ by the hiring manager at Reception; simply an exchange to check I was the right person before she marched off a few steps ahead to the designated meeting room without another word. On arriving at the room, she said something had come up and she would need to attend another call after 30 minutes so wouldn’t be able stay for the whole interview. In the 30 minute interview with her there was no introduction, further background around the role or context around what her role was but straight into questioning. Unfortunately it felt like the whole process was an inconvenience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1st half with hiring manager was to understand my CV (although never previously experienced such aggressive questioning in what would usually be a bit of ‘get to know’ you part of an interview) Second half without Hiring Manager was competency based.
