I applied online. I interviewed at Philips (Bengaluru)
Interview
Apparently Philips has a culture where don't respect the interviewee. I had this experience twice with them now.
Interview lasted around 1 hour 30 minutes. I was not sure, what would be the outcome so I followed up with them after 1 week. I sent another follow up second week to just give the feedback, even if I was not selected. they did not bother at all.
I forgot about the incident and after few months, I got a call again for a weekend interview. was a little reluctant as I saw their professionalism earlier, but I agreed to attend the interview regardless.
And this time, panel did not come to take the interview and I was told, it will be rescheduled again. Again after following up, there is no response to my email.
Such a shame for these large scale companies to treat interviewees so unprofessionally.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Entretien rh tres cool
Test technique sur TestDome
Entretien avec manager trés carré (il le croit en soit ca veux dire ) , je lui ai demandé les perspectives de poste , il repondait pour dire implicitement que y a pas perspectiives d'évolution , tu reste developpeur parcequ on voulait te recruter comme dev et pas + , et le pire il disait qu il voulait pas "des personnes qui savent pas ce qu ils veulent" .. un manager tres ironique qui se croit owner de la société et qui se comporte comme un roi .. du n importe quoi
