H&M Business Controller interview questions

The interview process is quite long and time consuming. It involves IQ testing, personality testing with a follow up discussion with a representative from the testing company, an interview day together with other candidates and finally a final interview. I did not find the process to be tough in terms of difficult questions, but H&M seems to take cultural fit very importantly so make sure to research that. For example, they told me that someone staying after 5 pm at work would not impress managers and that it is more important to be quick and flexible rather than a perfectionist getting everything 100% right. Be warned that the salary offered is below average.

The first step of the process was to send in an application online. Cover letter, CV + grades from uni and high school. Once passed this step, I did three tests online, numerical, logial and sorting sort of test. Passed this and then followed by a 30 min phone interview. Once passed, I was invited to a 5 hour assessment day at the HQ office in Stockholm. Three different interviews with HR, a current controller and one part with "case-studies". Once passed here I did to two larger personality test, later on evaluated togerher with an external (not H&M emoployee) HR/ psykologist. Once evaluated and also passed , I was invited to the final interview with in my case, two managers.
