I applied online. I interviewed at Philips (Amsterdam)
Interview
The whole process was fast. After applying for about a week, I received an email to schedule a phone interview. The next day, I got a call from the company's recruiter asking me basic questions, for example why I wanted to do this internship. About a week after, I had one productive 30-minute interview with two interviewers. The talk was great. I was treated very well. A few days later, I received a call from the company's recruiter telling me that I got the offer. Everyone was very nice!
The interview was split into two parts. First one was answering pre-recorded questions and playing a few games that tested my quick thinking skills. Second one was with the manager of the team.
