I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oerlikon (Greater Noida) in Jan 2013
Interview
1 Day process,Recruiter called me directly.2 round of interview one with boss and second one with Boss's boss.Offer letter given on the next day.Salary negotiation done on the same day.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oerlikon
Interview
I interviewed with 4 people over 3 weeks. The male higher-up stated in the interview “it doesn’t take 3 weeks to hire someone” then preceded to tell me it would take another week before they made a decision—a complete lie. Two weeks after my final interview and it’s been radio silence. How difficult is it to send someone an email and say you were not selected? Even after I sent a follow up email, I didn’t get a response. They already knew who they were going to hire yet preceded to take me through multiple rounds of interviews. I don’t care that they didn’t hire me, however I do care that they didn’t have the human decency to follow up with me after they happily invited me to interview with their team members. For me, no follow up after several interviews means the entire process was a waste of my time.
One of their core values is Integrity-these people exhibited none. Very unprofessional recruiting and HR team. The irony is, they have an entire section on their website about their hiring process, using words like ‘transparent’—WHAT.A.JOKE.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The male interviewer asked management level questions for a non-management position and then asked me to explain how to use the excel function concatenate—he probably laughed to himself as he wasted my time for 45+ minutes
