I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Symrise in Mar 2021
Interview
Zoom Meeting, 4 Symrise Mitarbeiter (2 m, 2 w). alle sehr freundlich, sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, wollen einen nicht ins Meser laufen lassen. Haben auch viel untereinander geredet. Man hatte nicht das Gefühl, dass einen 8 Augen anstarren.

Question 1
Power Point Präsentation. Fragen zur Doktorarbeit. Daraus abgeleitet Fragen auf die Industrie ("könnte man ihre entwickelte Methodik auch in der Industrie anwenden? Ja/nein wieso?") Glich mehr einem Gespräch als einem strikten "Wissen prüfen".
The process was very straightforward, with very timely communication and feedback from the hiring team. Ultimately it wasn't a good match but more companies should run their hiring processes this efficiently
