I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Firmenich
Interview
The interview process took 2 hours in total. One hour is for the explanation of the company and the other is for the interview.They asked me to explain my career and how I manage subordinates.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Firmenich in Nov 2020
Interview
Disorganised with poor communication. HR phone screening, hiring manager’s interview, then confirmation they’ll be in touch shortly with the next steps. With that, interviews with several stakeholders scheduled, then cancelled without explanation. After 2 weeks of chasing - regret to inform we went with another candidate. Got an impression that the whole company is run in a similar fashion - no coherence and no processes in place.
Describe your previous roles and do not get lured with their rosy picture of travel to Geneva. This company has changed a lot and is good for mid-career. It has hire and fire policy which is consistent.
