I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MSC Cruises (Geneva) in Mar 2025
Interview
Submitted the CV after finding the post on Linkedin.
Contacted by HR to schedule an online interview of 30 mins, after 2 weeks got contacted again to schedule a second one with the Head of the department where I would have worked and after 1 month contacted for the decision.
Pretty basic and relatively informal interview, personal questions and work case scenario.
The interview process was structured in three different phases, including multiple interviews with different stakeholders. While I felt that three stages was quite a lot for an internship position, the overall experience was very positive. The hiring manager was extremely kind and approachable, which made this one of the best interview processes I’ve had. I would have gladly worked in his team but I had an offer for an actual job at the same time so I turned down their internship offer. This was quite some time ago, so the process may have changed since then.
