I had same question. It seems they ask alot of HR questions vs experience questions. Less

I felt confused about the question, as a supervisor/manager, this type of question made me wonder if the company has a lot of internal conflict. Why would this question even come up unless the firm has a history of problems? When I questioned the recruiter, she became defensive and assured they did not have behavioral problems among workers/management in the organization. Less

NJ - answers to your questions: Could you please share more details on your face to face interview? -> Please ask specifics, was too broad to be able to give you details. - How did they arrange it? -> Everything was arranged via emails and phone calls. - How long did you spend in Doha? -> Total time was 3 days as I was transiting from North America - How long the interview face to face last? -> Approximately 1.5 hours, I chose to also meet others at the organization as well to see how they found the organization. - How many person interviewed you? -> Total of 3 people Was it only Procurement people? No HR Rep, the Hiring Manager and a potential colleague - Did you have any test to perform and /or Excel tests ?? -> No tests were required, however pending your background they may request this. - Any tricky question or special advise? No tricky questions, do your homework on the company. Each role that's being interviewed for is different. I was over-qualified for the role, and there was a miss-match in terms of compensation range. Less
