I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ABB (Modderfontein, Gauteng) in June 2010
Interview
A job is advertised, then you submit your job application letter with your CV. A short list is done for more qualifying candidates, and interviews are conducted. A suitable candidate is selected then an offer is presented to him / her.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Why do you think you are the best candidate for this position?
One-Way Video Interview. Auf vorgegeben 5 Fragen muss per Video innerhalb weniger Minuten geantwortet werden. Man hat drei Anläufe pro Frage, braucht die aber teilweise auch. Kein Feeback.
Eine der 5 aufgezeichneten Antworten war letztendlich technisch durch irgendwelche digitalen Problem vollkommen unverständlich. Neu Aufzeichnen nicht mehr möglich.
I applied online. I interviewed at ABB (Raleigh, NC) in Dec 2022
Interview
HR interview followed by hiring manager interview and ended with N+2 interview.
The process was clearly communicated and mapped out.
However, both the first contact and offer took a long while, so long that I almost gave up.
The interview process is very friendly and fair, including multiple aspects around the role (from interpersonal & communication skills through content-based & relevant questions for the role). For a more senior role there is multiple rounds (up to 3-4), meeting with different colleagues, incl. line manager & department lead + other functions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why the company & the position; How does that fit into my overall plans for career progression; Do I have long-standing interest in the company.
