You must prepare a 30 minute presentation, which is followed by a 30 minute questionnaire.
There is a break in between and then it is followed by 3 roughly 30 minute interviews of questioning.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Henkel (Charlotte, NC) in Dec 2024
Interview
First, there is a phone interview with an HR person. Then, there's a virtual interview with Hiring Manager and Director of Engineering for the site. That's as far as I got, but I believe there is a panel interview after that.
The Hiring Manager was fine, but the Director was really rude. It felt like he made up in his mind that I was exaggerating my experience and started nitpicking every little detail. He was also pompous and went on and on about how he used work at [insert prestigious company] and conduct interviews there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a problem you encountered and how you solved it.
Very unprofessional process. Both interviews arrived late, asked very few questions and left because they had work to do. There experience in the company was less than a year for one of them and 3 years for the other.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. How do you manage stressful situations. Would you be willing to take a lot of responsability quickly since we won’t have much time to train you?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Henkel (Johannesburg) in Sept 2020
Interview
The interview process consisted of a telephone interview with HR and then lead to a MS Teams interview with 2 Process Engineers. Overall very well done. I rejected the 2nd interview due to salary concerns.
