I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Philips (Eindhoven) in Apr 2013
Interview
First, interviewed with the corporate recruiter, which was totally useless for me personally, as the recruiter had absolutely no idea about the job, activities in the organization. The next step was the interview with the project team, was a nice conversation, not too many technical questions. In the next round a presentation for the whole department, and interviews with the top managers (two VPs)
Other Research Scientist Interview Reviews for Philips
short phone interview followed by half a day at the site. Included talking to the manager, 1-2 people from the scientific team and also the HR. The staff were really friendly. They started by discussing the position and the potential role of a scientist
Just had an initial screening where the recruiter asked me about my past experience, and the recruiter took more than 5 weeks and several reminders to let me know they found someone more suitable
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Philips (Hamburg) in Jun 2020
Interview
Three interviews:
1. phone call with a recruiter
2. phone call with two hiring manager
3. Onsite interview (see below)
- The application process was long (about 2 1/2 months with insufficient communication)
- No information on how to handle Covid-19 and other procedures (in comparison, other companies have communicated explicit procedures and have addressed limitations due to the current situation)
Procedure of the onsite interview:
- Interview with management (approx. 1h) + technical presentation (approx. 30 + 45 min)
The management said goodbye after the first part, so I had to give my presentation alone as a video call (since the other employees were still in the home office because of Corona).
