Prysmian Graduate Program interview questions

The interview process went smoothly and I was admitted to the last round with two other candidates. I was told I would have gotten a reply within the next two weeks, I patiently waited but I received no feedback. I reached out to the recruiter via email, no reply. I tried again, nothing. They finally replied to me 4 weeks after my last interview, saying that I was not selected, without providing any feedback whatsoever.

The whole process involves a number of steps that can take 4-6 months to get through: 1- Application/resume submittal 2- Online assessments: for someone in the United States, this involves Verbal Reasoning (in English), Numerical Reasoning, and Personality through SHL. Resources can be found online for free or paid. 3- In-person interview: this is an 8-hour process that is three steps. You are observed the entire time by several people. In my case, there were nine candidates including myself, with a mixture of business and engineering majors at both undergraduate and graduate level. 3a - First was a presentation on the company and the program, plus an opportunity to ask questions. 3b- Second is a group activity. The activity involves a case scenario that you're given. You'll have some time to study it and make notes or a presentation on your own for your recommendation. Then you'll have time to work as a group and come to a consensus. Then everyone presents what they came up with on their own. Again, you are observed with notes taken. They're looking for creative thinking, being able to work as a team, and being able to lead. 3c- Lastly is a personal interview with just you and two of the people who have been observing you. This happens regardless of how you did in the group activity. This is more of the traditional interview format. Talk about your resume, your experience, your goals, etc. They also ask if you have a preference for placement abroad if you get the job. For engineers, this is NOT a technical interview. I was not asked to complete any tasks. 4- If they liked you during the 8-hour interview, the next step is a Skype interview with HR in Milan. If you're located in Europe, this is most likely in-person. 5- Job offer (or not). From step 1 to 5, it took approximately 5 months, starting with a career fair. Once getting to the interview (step 3), things went by much faster.
