I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Philips in Jan 2010
Interview
A very nice interview process. First, I spent a significant amount of time on the phone with the recruiter, understanding what they were looking for, so before I spent any time with the actual company, I understood it would be good fit.
They sent me first class tickets, and booked a nice hotel for me. I spent the evening at dinner with them, then interviews the next day. Had interviews with about 15 people total. I also presented.
The interview process was very cordial and positive. There weren't any questions that I couldn't answer, but issues I brought up that we all recognized as challenges.

I applied online. I interviewed at Philips (Ámsterdam) in Jan 2021
Interview
Long, painful, 2 weeks minimum gap between each round of interviews. HR session, followed by line manager interview, then senior stakeholder interview, then head of HR interview, finally another senior stakeholder. The interviewers were respectful, nice and great to engage with, however by the time I had my last interview.... I forgot what I was considered for in the 1st place. From 1st interview till last round took almost 3 months
