Technical Behavioral Presentation
The interview process started with a CV screening. Then there was an inductive reasoning and numerical test which was timed but not too difficult if you were fast and attentive. Next, I had a video interview that I recorded at home, with 7 questions, including one in German, asking about my motivation for Essity and the graduate program, and my skills. After that, I had a 1.5-hour face-to-face interview which was structured and involved 3 interviewers asking common behavioral and situational questions. They mentioned the final step was an interview with HR and the manager, but I didn't make it that far. Surprisingly, they called me back to give me feedback on why I wasn't selected, which I found very valuable. Overall, my experience with Essity and their team was very positive because of this feedback and the interview procedure.
