I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BaXian (Küsnacht) in Feb 2025
Interview
Grundsätzlich schnell und entspannt, Habe aber nach dem Gespräch vor Ort nichts mehr von Baxian gehört, weder eine Absage noch eine Zusage. Insgesamt ein schlechter Umgang mit Bewerbern und respektloser Umgang mit dessen Zeit.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BaXian in Apr 2016
Interview
Was contacted via phone shortly after applying online and agreed on a interview for the following week. The interview lasted around 1 hr but was totally uncomfortable. I was asked a huge amount of situational/ personal/ technical questions without time to deepen any of my answers. I didn't click at all with the interviewer and the salary was ridiculous for Zurich's standards. Got a rejection email after one month...bad experience from any point of view.

Interview
They sent me initially an email to request an interview in their premisses. I confirmed the date that they offered and we had the interview. The interview included an open discussion about the company, where I got an insight on the structure of the company, their fields of expertise, and their main projects. Later on I explained what was my experience and previous projects I was working on. The interviewer was rather a junior person although he was for quite some years in the company. He made me feel comfortable and answered every question that I had. I had the impression that the interview was not structured and the interviewer was not well prepared. They told me that beside this interview, if I would made it through, I would have to talk with 4 more people in the company. There was no technical question since the guy interviewing me was not a technical guy itself. What was not mentioned in the add for the job was the fact that they demand up to 100% traveling time abroad for long periods up to a year and that they cannot guarantee a position in Zurich or even in Switzerland. This is fine in principle but I have no clue how much they are willing to pay since the discussion in respect to finances never came up. They mentioned that they will inform me after a week about the outcome and they were precise on that.
