ABB interview questions

Interview was a one on one conducted at a job conference. The interview itself was fairly informal. It helped that the interviewer and I hit it off, we are both ex-military. It consisted mostly of me displaying a very solid knowledge of the company, and I had taken the time to investigate some of the products the company deals with. Make sure and be flexible in terms of area to relocate. This is an outstanding company that does business all over the world. Most of the actual questions were behavioral, no scenarios to work through.

1) Initial search and screening process - recruiting agency singled out candidate from LinkedIn - requested updated resume/CV + requested expected salary (by email) - Face to face interview with a recruiter 2) Recruiter passed candidate to HR department - ABB local HR office sent out application forms with very detail personal questionnaires (expect to list blood types, sibling names, parents name, and your spouse and children DOBs) - candidate to fill out salary history (candidate to attach copy of pay slip) - candidate expected to fill medical information form - candidate to fill out 1 page psychological questionnaires 3) Interviews with ABB - face to face interview with overseas Business Development Manager/VP - face to face interview with overseas HR manager and Senior Sales Manager 4) Last interview - recruiter phone calls asking for salary history - numerous phone call asking for salary history (which I declined) - ABB sent out offer letter with very basic salary package - Declined job offer - Recruiter called candidate and threatened to blacklist candidate from its recruiting agency for failing to accept the offer.
