Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Olympus Corporation.
Quality Manager
The HR contact was very professional and the conversations were always warm. There were two rounds of interviews, one virtual and the second in person. The hygiene measures were absolutely satisfactory. The first interview was with the team and included the usual introductions from both sides. It focused heavily on work methods, methodologies, and experiences, which are crucial for such positions. The second interview followed the same pattern but was with the team leader's boss and an HR person. Similar questions were asked, and I was challenged more often. Unfortunately, the sticking point at the end was the salary, which was below industry standard for such a position and company size. We couldn't agree on terms. However, the communication regarding this was professional and respectful.
- How would you approach the standardization of processes across branches?
Senior Manager
It was a 3-hour interview process, with each hour dedicated to a different interviewer. The final interview was a very old-school stress interview. The HR person assured me I'd hear back quickly about an offer. However, after sending multiple emails and two months passing since the interview, I still haven't received any feedback. It felt very unprofessional.
- Do we have to comply with GDPR, and can you tell me why in less than 30 seconds?
- Given that you don't have prior manager experience with direct reports, how would you approach a position like this?
Business Manager
It was a multi-stage interview. They were professional and gave feedback quickly and kindly. First, I spoke with the Recruitment Manager. Then, I had an interview with the Business Manager. After that, I had to do a big presentation in 48 hours on some scenarios they gave me. I presented these scenarios to the Business Manager and GM and answered questions about my skills and the scenarios. Finally, I had a casual chat with the Business Manager and got the job offer.
- In what ways would you lead a team through the process of change management?
