First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Elis.
Production Manager
I met several people. I first had a phone interview with a group HR, then on-site successively the site HR, then the Production Manager, and finally the Site Director.
- Tell me about yourself.
Production Manager
Hatte insgesamt zwei Gespräche online mit der HR, bevor es zum Gespräch am Standort kam. Danach kamen es zu weiteren Gesprächen, die online stattfanden, mit den Führungsebenen, um am Schluss mit der HR das Gehalt zu verhandeln.
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- How do you motivate employees?
Production Manager
I was given the production site address, which is about 600m from the offices. The production staff were friendly and showed me to the offices. After a bit of searching, I found a receptionist who put me in an empty office, offered me a drink, and asked me to wait. This short wait turned into over an hour in 36c heat. When I was finally picked up, I was told that the HR person from Hamburg and the production manager were still dealing with daily business. The conversation was quite disillusioning. I was told that to calculate future orders, I would have to work in the laundry for the first year in a 2-shift system. When I asked if there were any work plans or time recordings, I was harshly told that there aren't any and never will be. The personality test I took indicated an introverted personality. I was told this honestly for the first time. I resisted this. For example, they asked me how I behave when I join a new group. I said I listen first, and once I understand the conversation, I join in. They continued to call this introverted, I called it good manners.
- Could you tell me about your weaknesses?
- What makes you available for this position at this time?
- What is your understanding of our company?
