      Controller Interview

      13 Jun 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BASF in Jun 2019

      Interview

      The process was quite lengthy. I was contacted by a recruiter, via LinkedIn. After a screening with him, there was an additional screening with the hiring manager, followed by a Skype Panel meeting, and a formal on-site interview with stakeholders, the hiring manager, and the site manager. Everyone was very pleasant and welcoming. I was quickly reimbursed for my expenses related to the on-site interview as well. The only time I felt the interview was "formal" was during the panel interview with stakeholders at the site. I was asked behavioral questions, as well as skill specific questions, and multi-part questions. Overall, I felt very comfortable throughout the process.

      Die Atmosphäre ist sehr entspannt und locker, sodass man sich schnell wohlfühlt. Es werden die üblichen Standardfragen gestellt, wodurch das Gespräch strukturiert bleibt und dennoch angenehm und ungezwungen wirkt. Sie geben sich viel Mühe.
