I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ABB (Riyadh) in July 2009
Interview
Was recommended as I was already working with the firm on the agency side, met with senior management in KSA as well as in the region. Very quick process, two interviews in all. Offer was made in the same month. Much quicker than other companies in the industry, particularly GE which seems to take an age to make up its mind.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ABB
Interview
Good candidate experience. CV screening, meeting with HM, followed by HR and peer interview. Process is a bit impersonal as there is a huge TA operation that drives meetings, schedulings and overall interview process. Possibly theres scope to be more transparent.

The selection process was divided into 3 stages: an individual interview with the manager, an assessment with the other five candidates, and a project proposal. It was a super interesting experience.
