Philips Data Specialist Interview Questions and Answers

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - All my rounds were telephonic because of lockdown.
My first round was Technical round and I had worked more on a functional side. The interviewer was very confident of what he wanted to ask. Sometimes, people think that since it is not a F-F interview, you can dodge few questions and go around the table to divert the interviewer, but that wasn’t the case with me. It went upto 35mins, I was asked about my work experience first and I had explained in detail what all I did in recent past. One should never go in late past details as it is difficult to remember on our own. So my first advice would be, elaborate your work details, expertise and knowledge of the recent company, can be upto 3 years.
After that, I was asked technical questions. I had seen some technicalities around me but I had not worked on few things asked to me, for eg- some T-Codes, Industry experience etc. One should never start lying to the interviewer about such things and start feeling negative about the process. So my second advice would be, be honest in your interviews as your seniors like it and they understand your current knowledge better, there is no point lying.
My second round was a 40mins Managerial round and I was being tested at every question asked. My manager wanted to check both my technical and communication skills. I answered just as same for technical questions and I was very confident while talking to him, I had worked with people globally so my communication skills were just fine to deal with stress and openly talk about what I offer and expect. So my third advice would be, be confident and communicate openly to the interviewer, don’t fumble and be expressive, make communication skill a strength.
My third round was a 25mins Client interview. I was asked about my work experience and knowledge about the role and details. I explained everything and also put up why I wanted to be a part of their team and what I understood to go ahead with the joining. So my fourth advice would be, always know the job description / role responsibilities before joining and try to fit yourself with clients accordingly.
My last round was a 20mins HR + Managerial round. Package discussion took place and I was firm with my expectations. My manager asked me to choose between the brand name / salary expectation, I chose to stick with the salary one as this is very important to grow further. So my last advice would be, Stick to your reasonable expectations with the company and always be open about it at every stage. Hence, I got selected and got the job at Philips. Good luck to you too!
