I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Philips in Jan 2012
Interview
Straight forward and standard interview with a panel of HR, hiring manager and senior manager. There were multiple candidates interviewing for multiple roles. Most candidates were young and fresh out of business and engineering schools. HR was helpful to guide thru the whole process
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Philips (Cleveland, OH) in Mar 2016
Interview
First interview was with a recruiter via telephone. The recruiter asks the standard questions regarding background, education, experience, potential fit and capabilities of performing the duties therein.
Second interview was in-person, panel-based, and presentation style. You are asked to present a Powerpoint on yourself while highlighting 4-5 bullet points that are given to you by the recruiter preceding the interview. It is not meant to test your Powerpoint acumen but rather how you deal with the pressure of being the point person.
Third interview was with the VP of the Midwest region.
Extremely irresponsible towards social aspects. They keep calling round after another and internally also keep scouting via references. So a person who comes for interview has to keep coming, live with long waiting time at reception. Respect for each candidate must increase.
