I had a group interview at SGS. There were seven interviewers, and they asked me a bunch of different questions. About half of it felt like they were checking if my personality fit the role and the company. It's important to talk a lot and be active in the interview because they want to see how you communicate and interact.

Te hacen pasar por todo el proceso: entrevista con alguien del area, luego con una reclutadora hasta la ultima entrevista con el director de rrhh en este caso. El mismo dia te envian para que hagas un examen psicotecnico de 2hs + 30mins de reunion con una psicologa. Te apuran con que tenes que hacerlo dentro de las 24hs. Y despues DESAPARECEN. Proceso nada profesional y sobre todo muy poco serio. Si asi se manejan externamente ni me quiero imaginar como sera una vez adentro.

I had a couple of back-to-back interviews, each lasting about half an hour. One was with the lab head, and the other was with HR. Both went really well. The interviewers were super friendly and put me at ease, asking typical questions about my experience, previous workload, strengths, and weaknesses.
