I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Riad) in Nov 2025
Interview
I’ve completed a multi-stage interview process that included traveling to Riyadh during the peak of Riyadh Season. While I was happy to invest the time and resources to meet the team in person, the post-interview experience has been disappointing.
The communication following the interview was handled poorly. When I reached out for an update, the recruiter rather than providing feedback from the hiring team, she directed me to contact another person via an email address that turned out to be invalid.
I believe that a candidate’s time and effort should be met with professional courtesy. Directing a candidate toward dead-end contact info instead of providing a transparent update is unnecessary and reflects poorly on the recruitment culture. While I understand that not every interview leads to an offer, clear and honest communication should always be the baseline.
Very straightforward, two-way conversation interview to discuss role, responsibilities and target objectives around sourcing and procurement. Interviews typically involve recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, a case or technical assessment, a second stakeholder interview focusing on delivery and sourcing, then references and offer.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Dubai)
Interview
The interview process went very well. It included a case study that we were given three days to review, analyze, and prepare a presentation on. The task was straightforward, and I was able to develop a clear analysis and present my findings confidently.

Question 1
If you got stuck on a task, how would you handle it? What steps would you take to resolve it, and would you involve colleagues if needed?
