I had an interview for Site Engineering Manager. I was asked to do a short presentation about a topic that they provided it to me few days before.
After the presentation, they asked me about my favorite color and favorite animal?
It was so suprising question for a managerial level job. I considered it as non-professional approach.
They did not give me any feedback after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR asked questions about favorite color and favorite animal after finishing a presentation.
They did not ask these at beginning to consider these as icebreaker.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AkzoNobel (Columbus, OH) in Mar 2015
Interview
Contacted by recruiter by phone then interviewed with Operations Director and his staff. They used behavioral interview questions, asking for many examples of work. They were interested in both technical knowledge and personality. Organizational fit seemed to be important. Operation seems to be very fast paced and may not have enough people so overtime is required.
