I applied online. I interviewed at Reckitt (Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg) in Apr 2016
Interview
Einige Wochen nach meiner Bewerbung wurde ich zum Vorstellungsgespräch im Standort Heidelberg eingeladen. Das Gespräch fand mit einer Mitarbeiterin aus dem HR und einer Mitarbeiterin der Fachabteilung statt und dauerte ca. eine Stunde. Insgesamt waren die Fragen gut machbar. Sie zielten darauf ab, die Motivation des Bewerbers zu erfahren und dessen Vorstellung vom Praktikum.
Das Gespräch war angenehm und ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die beiden Interviewpartnerinnen waren sehr offen und sympathisch. Die Zusage habe ich einige Tage nach dem Interview erhalten.

Interview questions [4]
Question 1
the day started with a group exercise to test your communication skills. ours was called "ZOOM". basically each applicant was given 6 A4 cards with an image on each. we could not show the cards to one another, but we had to figure out which order they went in
the next part of the day was another group-project. we were split into two groups of 3. for 30 minutes we had to look over a fake HPLC chromatograph and decide what we thought was shown i.e. contamination, malpractice, human-error, etc. we were observed by members of the QC department for this 30 minute period. at the end of it the QC department members left and we had to present our ideas to other members for 10 minutes. no feedback on how we did was given.
"psychometric tests". these were, in my opinion, not particularly difficult timed critical thinking puzzles that were carried out individually. we were told they were different for each assessment day, but if you've ever done critical thinking tests i.e. aptitude tests, you should be fine. it's key to remember that they're not not looking for the tests to be fully completed in the allotted time, but instead wanting to see how accurate you can be whilst getting as much done as possible. so balance your time with your accuracy.
the 2-on-1 interviews were pretty average. mainly in-depth questioning on our understanding of HPLC operating, GMP, and safe lab practice. the last three questions were based upon RB's 4 goals and examples of us undertaking these in our personal or professional life.
