Presentation Technical

After some interviews, I went to their Mumbai office for the final HR round. They said they'd let me know in 2 weeks, but then went silent for 2 months! It's wild they treat people like this after investing time in assignments and traveling for an in-person interview. This lack of communication is a huge red flag. Seriously, avoid Lanxess unless you like being messed around and having your time wasted.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Presentation of questions and assignments, followed by questions about them.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The process was smooth. They asked basic questions. It was a 1-day assessment center. There were basic interview questions with HR and the future team lead. You needed to read the job description and present some slides from university, and you'd be fine.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Can you introduce yourself?
  • What information do you have about the company?
