Interview
The process took around 3 months for me, from starting my application to getting an official answer. It began with submitting documents, followed by a hirevue interview session +- 2 weeks later where they asked 6 situational questions followed by 3 rounds of numerical games.
The following month I was invited to join the graduate assessment center, consisting of 3 assessment rounds (group discussion & presentation - individual panel presentation - final interview) in their head office in Jakarta. No technical questions, just scenarios and case study questions to test your problem-solving & teamwork skills.
The following days they notified me of the results.

Where do you see the most growth opportunity in ABB?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ABB
Interview
The recruiter informed me that the hiring manager had requested an in-person interview. When I got to the interview, the hiring manager was questioning why we didn't conduct the interview remotely on Teams. Additionally, I discovered that the actual position was completely different than the job description, as the HR system made them choose between predefined roles.
To further complicate matters, the pay range presented during the interview was $20,000 less than what the recruiter had initially communicated to me. Despite these discrepancies, I didn't receive any communication for three months following the interview.
