I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Volvo Group
Interview
Video interview followed by phone interview and on site interview. Very good but slow process. Met with multiple supervisors and peers on onsite interview. I was able to get a very good picture of the culture and climate
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Volvo Group (Bengaluru) in Apr 2017
Interview
Had one round telephonic. The questions interviewer asked were more personal than anything related to the role I applied for. At the end of the interview he told that he will tell the interview result then itself, than me waiting for a week to hear back from the recruiter. He told that I had cleared it and to expect a call back from HR to schedule second round F2F. Post this I received a call from HR asking if I am available in the upcoming week. I waited whole week for them to call me back, but no response from their end. I myself called the HR and she said I was not shortlisted. 2 days after this, a second HR called me and asked if I am available after 1 week for second round interview. I informed him it must be a mistake since the other HR said I had not cleared. He apologized and said it was a mistake on their side, and he would very much like for me to come in for the next round. Reluctantly I agreed, and waited for him to send a confirmation email. Another week goes by and no response. I get a OOO from him when I sent an email. Later he called me back saying he is out on vacation and someone else from his team will get in touch with me. And no one ever did.
