Updated 23 Feb 2021

Se2 Procurement Manager Interview Experiences

1 interview found

I applied via Company Website and was interviewed in Jan 2021. There were 5 interview rounds.

Interview Questionnaire 

4 Questions

  • Q1. Asked questions were completely irrelevant to the job function.
  • Q2. Interview rounds are mismatched. E.g - Final round is based on specific category and not about the function. HR round is technical.
  • Q3. Interview panel is itself lacking the knowledge of function which results lack of maturity in their hiring process.
  • Q4. Coordination is NIL among their internal teams & team members and lack of trust is observed.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The Job description is not appropriate and not matching with their actual expectations which is making the role confusing as to what is actually they are looking in the candidate. Be very specific with the round with their SVP who is uncertain of the role and asks irrelevant questions. Lack of domain knowledge is observed with their SVP which makes him ask disoriented questions and may become a demotivating factor for the candidate.
