I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Panasonic in Oct 2013
Interview
Phone call pre-screen, in person twice. Offer made over the phone. First face to face interview was three separate interviews with different people including HR and key stakeholders; standard process with no surprises. Met with the group VP for all of ten minutes.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panasonic (Reading, England) in Oct 2016
Interview
First round was a phone interview with the hiring tax manager. Second interview was in person with the hiring manager as well as an HR manager, it lasted 1 hour. Both of them were nice and helpful.
My impression was very positive about the company and the process.
I applied online and got the interview in a week time. Two interviewers, the questions were standard interview questions. What's your strength and weakness, how can you contribute to the company
