I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nestlé (Shenzhen, Guangdong) in Mar 2019
Interview
I had three interviews with the head of department, director of finance, then the CFO. The tone changed significantly over the course of the interviews as the formality and intensity increased.
For the first two interviews, questions were standard competency based questions, although there was a strong emphasis put on both how I can affect and direct change; and work and communicate with many different people at all experience levels.

Question 1
Give me two examples of times you have managed to change a process to make it more efficient.
Got two phase. 1st is virtual and 2nd is face to face. They do ask 3 months payslip and IC copy before interview which I think not good unless you are being hiring. Red flag
Repetetive questions, nice HR but manager seemed judgmental, since I had no experience in this field (kept asking about finance, when I said i have no experience), overall i did not have a very great experience.
The supportive team environment fosters collaboration and encourages professional growth. I appreciate the emphasis on accuracy and attention to detail, which aligns perfectly with my values as a financial professional.
