I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Johnson Controls (Bengaluru) in Jan 2023
Interview
strategic P2P questions, and also nothing about technicality of the products and negotiation. Only upon pressure management and handling stakeholder. Hierarchy level doesn't look like aligned. But employee empowerment questions also were there. No WFH strictly.

The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Johnson Controls (Sydney)
Interview
Interviewer from the sibgspore office for the procurement manager role in Sydney australia was the rudest interviewer i have ever dealt with. So rude that i asked him to end the interview 16 minutes in. With a monotone voice Just opens the interview up with "take me through your experience and education". Barely a hello and no introduction just probes my experience asking in depth questions on numericals and categories about the businesses ive worked for trying to poke holes and catch you out as if you are lieing. Barely understands my replies as english isnt his first language.
Having worked in SEA before he displayed the typical personality and interview skills of an authoritian manager from that region. That does not work here, this is the 21st century, no self respecting procurement leader would put up with that.
