A.S. Watson Group interview questions

Very time consuming process, took about two months, and after the final interview I had to chase them for a couple of weeks in order to receive an one-line email saying they devided to go with another candidate. There is a long assessment that takes about 3 hours to complete and quite long interviews with higher ranking staff. Final interview is a power point presentation.

Quick process. 2 stages + attitudinal tests - one generic interview on prior experiences and details about the role - presentation of a case study (to be prepared at home before) - 3 tests: personality, numerical, text comprehension Negative experience. The last interview has been a waste of time as, although the feedback on the presentation was positive, they decided I was not interested in the role (?). (Btw, I actually was very interested). Funny enough, the feeling of lack of interest is what I perceived during my time in the room: interview started 15 minutes late, vague questions, senior manager flicking through his iPad (hopefully he was looking at some notes he wrote for the interview), little time given at the end to ask quick questions. If they want candidates to show passion for the role, they should consider to show more interest for them in first place... In addition to this, I think there has been little respect for my time. Concerns about the interest of the candidates for the role should be addressed in the first interview so to avoid them to spend time in preparing presentation and taking time off from work to attend a further interview. If doubts emerge after in the second stage, it could be worth to investigate the candidate motivations in more details, rather than asking generic questions on why they are interested in the job and then jump to conclusions without following up. I have read a similar comment when I opened the app. They apologised and said they would have kept the feedback in consideration. It doesn’t seem they did.
