Application
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AkzoNobel (Slough, Buckinghamshire, South East England, England) in Jun 2015
Interview
Two stages- telephone interview followed by assessment centre.
Assessment centre comprised of group exercise, followed by case study, and then a competency/ CV based interview for which you had to prepare a presentation on a brand that appeals to you.
The process was lengthy and the scheduling was poor. The interviewer was disinterested due to recent role change/demotion. Other interviewers (potential peers) distracted and not prepared for the interview. One dropped off the call to take another call.
Took weeks with no updates in between each process. 2 weeks to hear back between each stage. Left waiting 40 mins before 2nd interview Online submission 1st stage via team 2nd stage face to face to do a presentation
