The interview process included a phone screen, a video interview, and then a face-to-face zoom interview with a group of current Syngenta employees. The process went really well, and everyone I spoke with was very professional and polite. They ended up hiring another candidate who had experience in a very similar plant nearby Syngenta.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
Submitted my CV and got a 45 min interview with two senior managers where they asked me technical and competency questions. Then, after two weeks, HR called me for the next stage, which was a 2-day process. The first day involved a presentation about a technical project I worked on. The second day had three 1-hour interviews focusing on competency, technical skills, and motivational fit, plus a site tour. HR finally got back to me with a decision after another two weeks. I felt the process was a bit much.
