      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Volvo Group in Mar 2022

      Interview

      I applied in November 2021, they first contacted me in January and we scheduled the interview. The first interview was average, questions were mostly about CV and some usual questions about my personality and personal preferences. Five weeks have passed without any feedback, so I decided to chase them and after several emails they scheduled second interview. The second interview was what I would describe as a scandal. The interviewer was some 5 minutes late and started the conversation with negativity. He was showing bad behaviour throughout the whole interview: constant eye contact avoidance, long pauses after I finish my reply, texting someone in background, bursting into laughter couple of times. Content of the interview was mostly personality related, with emphasis on my emotions and behaviour in different hypothetical situations. After the interview was done I knew that having that guy as a superior would be the worst thing ever. Overall impression is that the whole process was unnecessary slow and surprisingly negative.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      From a given list of the comapny's values, which one in your opinion is the most important? Why? How do you convince people? What is a good meeting in your opinion? What do you think of people who are constantly late? Are you positive or optimistic?
      Answer question

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Volvo Group

      Interview

      I had a phone interview and then face-to-face with a group panel with multiple people from the department. Pretty straightforward process and standard interview questions. It is nice that the group panel included people that actually do the job.
