Entrevista
I, first, met ABB at a career fair where they told me to apply online. About four months later, I received an email for video on-demand interview where the questions are presented and I would record my answers on video at my convenience. Almost two weeks later, I received a phone call for on-site interview. That was when I realized the website is a fake representation of the company. The on-site interview included a presentation (45 minute presentation, 15 minute questions). They kept interrupting me during my talk. I don't have problems with it, but I found it rude. One person in audience acted like a know-it-all which I thought was testing my reaction to being intimidated. Next stop was the VP who could not be more discouraging when he said the company almost bankrupted few years back and is still on the way to get back on track. He didn't have an idea about the company's five year plan and thought technology was a hype. The rest of the interview team made me feel comfortable, but my overall feeling about the company degraded in the first two hours of the interview. Questions from the team were mostly about my background and some few behavioral questions. The moment I was done, I knew it didn't feel right. Though the hiring manager said they'd let me know in two weeks, they never responded to any of my thank you/follow up emails until I made a phone call and left a message. All in all, disappointing and unreal especially if you get your background from their shiny website!

First round was an introductory phone call with the manager and then second round there was an in-person interview where I had to give an hour long technical presentation to the technical team.
1st interview with the research team manager and one of the engineers, basic questions nothing difficult. 2nd interview was composed of 3 rounds with different people from the team in each round. None of the questions were about the role or my experience. The teams were chatting and asking very personal questions about my personal life which was weird, uncomfortable and violation of my privacy. I believe that they already had a candidate that they had chosen for the role , but still wanted to interview other people. Very unprofessional and rude to waste people's time.
