General Manager - Marketing at Philips Electronics
Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 12, 2013 New
Interview Details This offer came to me via a consultant. The interview was with the hiring manager himself. He spent a disproportionate amount of time on explaining the role and the operations and he expected me to ask him questions along the way. This 45 min dialogue culminated in him asking me if i was interested in the role and the interivew started. Post this, there was only a HR round.

Interview Details
Initially I got an e-mail from Philips asking me to take up the written test.
After getting shortlisted I had my interviews and upon clearing the same there was an HR round.
The interview panelists were really very friendly. They gave me an initial idea about Philips Culture, benefits etc. through a PPT. They make a candidate feel at ease.

Interview Details
The interview process was really smooth. Was invited for a full day of interviews with people from different backgrounds and functions. People at the same level as the one i was applying for. My prospective manager, and the boss of my manager. Everyone was friendly and helpful. They were interested not only about my professional career but also about my cultural background and personal experience. This was extremely helpful to be more relaxed.
Got contacted within two days after the interview about the decision. It was a very fast process.
