      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Volvo Cars in Nov 2016

      Interview

      - Applied online on Volvo Cars Website - Telephone Interview with Randstad recruitment specialist (10-15 minutes) - Logical test - Skype interview with Randstad recruitment specialist (1 hour) - They told me they selected other candidates, it was not so clear why I was not selected for the following steps in the selection process, I was hoping at least to have the opportunity to participate in the assessment centre.

      Graduate Programmer Interview

      Mar 25, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Gothenburg, Västra Götaland
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Volvo Cars (Gothenburg, Västra Götaland) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      First brief telephone interview Logical test Skype interview Reference checking Assessment Centre Final interview (I didn't pass through) The bad think is that at the assessment centre there's no personal interview with a project manager or a HR manager. There's just a couple of group exercises. Without at least a small personal interview that cannot be a objective evaluation of the candidate. The other bad thing is that after 2 months of selection process they "threw me away" with a simple "we expected you to put more energy on the exercise". No detailed and written feedback, just stupid excuses by phone in a matter of seconds. Very frustrating. Almost all the candidates that go to the assessment centre are used to let show up the people they already chose. I expected much more by Volvo.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      More or less standard psychological questions during the Skype interview like: How you react when you feel bad or frustrated Describe how should be a perfect leader, or something like that
