      Project Manager Sustainability Interview

      Mar 29, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Zürich
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bayer (Zürich) in Feb 2023

      Interview

      I was contacted by the Lead Sourcing Specialist to have a phone interview that would last for 1 hour (ended up lasting for 1 hour and a half). The interviewer seemed nervous and the interview lack of structure, but he was kind of nice and asked easy questions about my background and skills. He tried to convince me I was not going to be able to commute to Basel everyday(even though the team was located abroad), then why do you ask???? In the middle of the interview, he told me that I should prepare a business case explaining a project I was involved in ("to see my English writing skills") and gave me a 2 days deadline to complete it. He also asked me to send him my availability for a second interview with HR for the following 2 weeks. I took the time to prepare the document and sent him everything as requested. He immediately answered my email saying they would go through my case and send me a confirmation for the next interview. After that, he ghosted me for almost 3 weeks, when I received an AUTOMATIC (yes, automatic) message saying my application has been rejected (no reasons given). This was a waste of time for me, to prepare for the interview, to talk with the interviewer for almost 2 hours, to prepare a business case for 2 days and to provide availability for a future (non-existent) interview. This will miss my talent because I won't apply to this company ever again.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      -Tell me about yourself -Why do you want to work in Bayer? -What type of permit do you have to work in the country? -Would you be available to commute to Basel everyday, although the team is located abroad? -Prepare a document explaining a project your were involved in and explain your responsibilities -Provide future availability for a future interview that will never exist
