Great company. Many people have been there for years. Interview process was very straightforward. HR called and emailed when they decided to go with another candidate. I appreciated the honest and timely process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked if I was comfortable with the long commute (2 hours door-to-door via train).
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Philips (Ámsterdam) in Aug 2022
Interview
This is the second time I go all the way to the final stage and they select an internal candidate. The HR manager said they are pushing for more external candidates but managers are too conservative. I had 3 interviews: HR, Manager, 1 level up manager (Senior Director).

Question 1
Standard behavioral questions One different question was "If I called your last boss, what would she say about you"
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Philips (Ámsterdam) in Jun 2021
Interview
After numerous applications over the years, I have only been invited to an interview when I ticked all JD boxes and had an internal referral. The initial call was dull and I lost my motivation to ever work there.
