      Energy Efficiency Manager Interview

      Mar 9, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hannover
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Continental (Hannover) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      I have been invited for a personal interview after 3 weeks of a telephonic interview. Not sure why they take so long to invite a person for personal interview. I reached their office in Hannover for interview and sadly they were 25 mins late for the interview and I had to ask the receptionist when they would call me. I saw other people were also waiting for meetings/interview. One has even walked away since no one came back to pick her up. Anyways, the HR person came and gave irrational excuses for the delay.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      During the interview the interviewer was very cold. they asked me tell us your previous experience. What do u expect what would be your role on this position etc etc. Since it was a technical position, they asked some technical questions and i answered all of them satisfactorily. then they asked me "can you tell me how much is the energy cost for Hannover tyre manufacturing plant". I knew there is no right or wrong answer for such questions and I started giving my approach to answer the question, but the interviewer got furious and asked me by banging three times on the table I need a figure and no explanation. I got really sad by seeing her behavior and took my time for not getting distracted and answer a figure out of the blue. I dont know whether she was testing my temper or what but i was really pissed off by her behavior. later when i was answering to a question, suddenly the HR guy disrupted and told that now its the time to wrap up. Then he began asking when u can join and what your salary expectation. After 2 weeks i did not hear anything and I had to call and ask whats the outcome. Its really sad to see their approach to handle interviews and how to treat a candidate during interview. Not expected from a company like Continental.
