Senvion Interview Questions
& Process

I was contacted by a third party consultancy. There were two technical rounds and a hr round. I had clearly stated my salary expectations. When they proceeded with my profile I thought they were okay with it. But on the final round the recruiter said they can't afford my expectations. It's out of their budget. I was really disappointed. It's really hard to schedule an interview when you are already working full time. The recruiter tried to persuade me with some future hike promises but there were some red flags. I guess they went with someone with lower salary expectations.

I interviewed in the Bangalore office. It was a total of 3 rounds. The first round was with a PM from German who put his expectations clearly and gave a positive feedback about the interview. I was called for a second round of interview the very next day and under a short notice. The HR called me at 10 in the morning for an interview at 1. The second was with a senior PM based out of their German office (Video call). This was followed by a HR interview. This person had just been in the organisation for 5 months and completely lacked professionalism. I felt intimidated and bullied throughout the interview. He even went to say that the job I'm doing will be useless and replaced by automated systems or better managers in the future. The HR didn't speak a word about their policies or appraisals even when I tried to have a conversation around this. The only focus was "Intimidate her" for some weird reason. I was however interested in the position as my conversations with the Germans went really well. The funny part is, when I followed this happened 1. Week 1 - "We are going ahead with your candidature. I'll release the offer letter next week" 2. Week 2 - "We're getting your offer letter approved by the Mumbai team" 3. Week 3 - "Mumbai approvals are in place waiting for HRs sign off to release the letter" 4. Week 4 - "HR is out of town" 5. Week 5 - "Job is on hold". To sum it up. The HR (both recruiters and BP) suck. If they don't respect people's time and efforts (or even people in general for that matter) it's definitely not going to be a good place to work.

I was recommended to the company by the job gym in welland. I met with the Logistics Manager first. Had a routine interview, explaining the job and what I was expected to learn. Then I met with the HR Manager and the purchaser in the logistics department. Another rather routine interview, but this time they explained that they were a start up company and there would be a period of adjustments while they figure out exactly what I would be doing for the company.

The interview was conducted in a very pleasant atmosphere, lasting about an hour. It involved a conversation with the sales leadership and someone from HR. The questions were somewhat challenging but never uncomfortable, creating a nice conversational climate. I was asked to give a presentation about my previous company's organization and strategy, and also to present on a whiteboard. They also lightly tested my knowledge of the subject area, specifically the technical basics of wind energy.
