I applied via their website and submitted my CV together with answering some online questions. My CV and my answers made it clear that I didn't have Pharmaceutical manufacturing experience so was fairly surprised when I was contacted within 24 hours with invite to interview.
I attended the interview and can honestly say it was the worse I have ever had.
Normally for competency based interviews you can expect between 5 to 10 scenario based questions. In this interview there were 18, 1 section on the job, 1 section specifically on pharmaceutical manufacturing, and 1 on soft skills.
At the end of the interview I was told I would hear the result within the next week and feedback would be available whatever the outcome.
After 2 weeks, having heard nothing I sent a note to HR (number on auto-signature unavailable) and got a brief note back that I would be contacted shortly.
After a further 2 weeks I sent a further note asking for the promised feedback. No response.
Absolutely disgraceful that a company such as this cannot even be bothered to tell you the results of an interview, let alone provide the promised feedback.
However, given that since I attended this interview I have read the reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor which say the Hull site has a bullying, toxic work environment with a huge turnover in staff, why am I not surprised?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Reckitt (Hull, England) in Dec 2019
Interview
The day consisted of several tasks: A group task, an in-tray exercise, a numerical test, a competency-based interview, and a fact-finding exercise. Moreover, though we didn't have one, the assessors also mentioned that sometimes a tour-site would be given.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview focused heavily on demonstrating competencies, such as talking about a time you've resolved a conflict or done something outside of your comfort zone. The interviewers also referred back to tasks carried out earlier in the day, so try to think after each task about what went well and what you could've improved on.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Reckitt (Atizapán)
Interview
Hubo dos entrevistas: La primera fue para conocer la posición y crear un primer contacto con RH y el departamento de compras y la segunda fue con un panel donde se nos puso a 3 personas a resolver un caso, primero en equipo y después individual.
