J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Philips (Bothell, WA) en janv. 2017
Entretien
Started with a 30-minute phone interview with a Philips recruiter where we discussed my qualifications and job details at a high level.
Several days later I had a 30-minute phone interview with the hiring manager for the position where we discussed my experiences, the open position, and the workplace in better detail.
About a week later I was brought in for an in-person interview that lasted 4 hours and consisted of 4 separate interviews, each with 1-2 people present. Questions were about details on my resume, why I was looking for a new job in a new industry, and about systems engineering in general. They provided information as well, with details of the product line, descriptions of the work environment, and their motivations for working at Philips. Everyone was extremely friendly and asked very good questions, without being too much of a test (no questions like "how many stop signs are there in the state of Georgia", etc.). I am mid-career, so they were basically getting a feel for my personality and experience level for the specific job.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
They asked me to describe my thought process for looking at a conference telephone as a system; explain how different levels of requirements would be defined, how the various levels interact, and possible risks associated with the system. They also asked me how I view the difference between verification and validation.
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Philips (Cambridge, MA) en oct. 2017
Entretien
Two rounds of phone screen with management, then an onsite after speaking with the person I was to replace. Got to the site and in no uncertain terms did I get "coached" that this role would have to be at the beck and call and whim of every Developer/Scientist/whathaveyou that you are expected to support. They were completely biased the moment they found out I didn't graduate from college, much less a fancy prestigious college like a lot of the scientists. My 20 years of experience from hardware to Cloud with most of it in the Silicon Valley didn't impress these Harvard types. It's a good thing the rest of the world isn't so blind, and I find a job very quickly everywhere else.
