I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Philips (Andover, MA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Interview process was very thorough, and Philips had to get everyone 'on board' before they could make an offer. I spoke with 12 people either in person or via teleconference before they offered a position.

Question 1
How to deal with sales force not engaged in product line
Great company. Many people have been there for years. Interview process was very straightforward. HR called and emailed when they decided to go with another candidate. I appreciated the honest and timely process.

They asked if I was comfortable with the long commute (2 hours door-to-door via train).
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Philips (Amsterdam) in Aug 2022
Interview
This is the second time I go all the way to the final stage and they select an internal candidate. The HR manager said they are pushing for more external candidates but managers are too conservative. I had 3 interviews: HR, Manager, 1 level up manager (Senior Director).

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Philips (Amsterdam) in June 2021
Interview
After numerous applications over the years, I have only been invited to an interview when I ticked all JD boxes and had an internal referral. The initial call was dull and I lost my motivation to ever work there.
