I applied online. I interviewed at dsm-firmenich (Bazel) in Feb 2018
Interview
Es fanden 3 Gespräche statt mit jeweils anderen Gesprächspartnern, innerhalb von mehr als 2 Monaten. Gesprächspartner waren freundlich aber mit wenig Fokus auf für die Stelle relevante Kompetenzen. Ich hatte den Eindruck, zu viele Leute entscheiden mit, es war unklar, was für ein Profil sie suchen. Unstrukturiertes Vorgehen und zu lang (fast 3 Monate bis zur Absage).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was machen Sie in Ihrer Freizeit ? Was sind Ihre Stärken ? Was wissen Sie über LEAN ?
They always end up selecting internal candidate. Thus, it seems to me just wasting time to interview with this company. I am not clear what the intention here. To see what is out there or just full-filling the requirements.

Question 1
Regular interview questions . I am not sure if they are even listening you answers .
A discussion more than an interview. Several different rounds to go though. A long process overall but to be expected when its a big company. Overall not a terrible process but expect it to take a long time.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at dsm-firmenich (Heerlen) in Mar 2020
Interview
The whole process took over 4 months. Didn’t make contact when they said they would. Had to follow up. Changed the position description half way through. Interviewers and stakeholders were clearly not aligned on the role or the expectations of it. Unprofessional, did not receive an offer, but even if I had I would’ve turned it down. It had gotten to a stage where it was clear that this wasn’t going to be the correct workplace for me.
