I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Reckitt
Interview
Initial interview was with the HR. Very basic skills & behavioral interview. 2nd interview was with one of the pioneers in the department. Overall had a great experience. Smooth coordination and everyone had a professional and friendly vibe.
Average interview with basic questions related to career overview and what are your goals for the future and current plans. Why do you want to work here etc. list of you strengths and weaknesses points and where do you see yourself in the future
Had an interview with the HR and a Head of E-commerce in Milan. Honestly, It was a pretty disappointing experience. They seemed really out of touch and didn't have much knowledge about the role, which is quite unusual for a international company. Plus, they didn't show much interest during the interview for the candidate.
It was clear they didn't really understand the challenges of the job or how the team would be structured. Makes me wonder how prepared they are for bringing new people on board.
Got a two sentences email after a month telling that they were going to proceed with another candidate

Question 1
Why do you want to work for a Brand (client-side) after many years in the agency-side?
The numeric and reasoning assessments were quite easy and intuitive. The video interview invite came in rather late. Other than that im unsure as to what they look for but it is mostly personality and situation based questions during the interview.
