I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Philips (Tokyo) in Jul 2023
Interview
Online interview through HireVue. It’s not that difficult. They will give you a question and you have to answer it by recording yourself. It’s in video format and they would let you re take those videos up to 3 times. So the interview is not a face-to-face live interview. It’s been more than a month but still no news and no rejection either. Right now my status is still “In Progress”. Not too sure if they will send a rejection letter or not.

Question 1
Honestly it’s been a month so I forgot what they asked. But I remember they have a couple of “brain games” and personality analysis at the end.
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.

Question 1
To describe different situations where I had to for example take leadership in a team
It was a virtual assessment with 5 behaviour questions and 2 games to understand your working style. You will have only 1 chance to record your answer. 30 seconds to prepare and 3 minutes to talk.
