Application Process & Interviews at Kraft Heinz Company

Went through various stage of the process, meeting Global leaders, to local Managers

The process is fair and structured. Job descriptions are written and then released through various job adverts/portals. Applications are sorted throughand you're invited to complete a 'logical' test. Informal interviews are scheduled and then candidates participate in a formal interview if they pass the informal interview phase. If successful, letter of offers are sent.

Interviews came in a few phases, initial phase was resume screening. Then 1 way video interviews, where you answer loaded video questions with a video answer of your own. After that there was an orientation day with all candidates brought into the office, on this day we went through a series of mock presentations, speed interviews with experienced staff & collaboration. Last interview was a case study presentation to the executive team, the last interview was 15 minutes of presentation & 10 minutes of question & answers.

Interview process was great however - Kraft needs to be flying people up for interviews

1 way interviews, psychometric testing, assessment centre with case study and quick interviews, ELT presentation

The overall recruitment process was extremely competitive as there were over 2500 applications in total. The recruitment process extended over few months with offers being sent out around end of May, the process consisted of 5 rounds in total. 1. CV screening 2. Gamified pymetrics 3. Recorded one-way interview 4. Assessment centre 5. Leadership case study presentation I believe only less than 3% of applicants make through to the assessment centre stage.

I appreciated the thoroughness of the interview process as it showed the business prioritized bringing in the right people into the team.

Pymetric test and then online video interview. Grad assessment day center which involved a group case study and 2 rounds of speed interviews. Final interview which was a 15 minute case study presentation. I loved this process. Super engaging and a really fun process.

The rounds of interviews I found well planned out and information about how you interviewed was provided to each individual during their onboarding.

There were lots of different stages to get this job

I think it was a great hiring process and allowed the company to get the people they wanted

Very standard interview process and assessments that you would have come across when applying for other programs - Behavioural tests, multiple rounds of interviews, group activities and a in person case study/presentation.

Very long and many steps involved. Plus there was a major presentation to the ELT at the end of the process.

2 rounds of assessments and a final panel interview

The interview process was incredibly rewarding and very early on we got to meet several company leaders.

Behavioural testing, 2 video interviews and a third in person interview.

The interview process involved several steps, including an online form, virtual recorded interview, group online interview & in-person presentation/interview.

Few rounds, very involved however expected for the grad program

Many Stages with poor HR communication. Stages did seem to run somewhat smoothly with Case Studies, 1 on 1 Interviews and Presentations.

Interviewers were very helpful and friendly and gave an accurate summary of the company. The process involved submitting a video, attending multiple assessment centres and making a presentation to the executive leadership team (directors).

General Interview Questions

Why did you apply for Fujitsu? What values did you align with? What do you hope to get out of this graduate program? How do you think Fujitsu could help society (how to help society and promote trust through innovation)? Another question related to purpose that I've sadly forgotten.

Lots of questions were specific to the case study, more general questions were like... - Why do you want to work at Kraft Heinz? - One of our key values is 'x' , what does this value mean to you? - How does your experience in X transfer to Kraft Heinz?

About the company values, scenario based questions.

Some behavioral questions. Some questions relating to the values of the company, espicially around the concept of ownership.

Tell us about a time you managed a failing team. How would you manage being put into a team which you have no interest or experience in? What does diversity mean to you? What are some of the biggest ways you see us growing the business sustainably?

Asked a serious of pretty standard questions initially. Towards end of interviews, we had to complete a case study which seemed hard at the time, but in hindsight was a great way to showcase skills.

For the final stage we had to present a case study to the executive leadership team which I thought was scary but also showed that the people high up cared about who the company was hiring at lower levels

Standard behavioural questions.

Everything you can think of - life, interests, career goals, specific questions to the role, etc.

How do you align with the values of KH?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Why FMCG, why food, why this company and what values do I associate with.

I was asked about my knowledge of FMCGs, interest, strengths, weaknesses & facility with Kraft Heinz products.

Very specific question based on my degree (i.e. how would you use digital marketing to help our company).

Why should we hire you?

Lots of situational questions. When was a time you showed initiative? Why do you want to work for Kraft Heinz? When was a time you failed?

Nothing out of the ordinary, first interview was a set of speed-interview rounds. Second stage of interviews followed a presentation to the Executive Leadership Team, no real call out questions, but you could ask the ELT questions in return.

Why do you want to join the company; What's your values

Why do you want to work for the company? What is your biggest failures? How do you see your degree (education) assisting you in your role in the company?

Research the company values and vision

Make sure to look up Fujitsu's values and mission as well as their market offerings. Practice answering interview questions. Make sure to have questions for the end of the interview to ask interviewees.

Have a good understanding of the companies values and recent movements in the market. Try not to stress too much, ask questions and come prepared

Be open and engaged when learning about the company and culture

Understand the company's values, what they stand for and what the purpose of the company is and how you can relate or build on this.

Really try to be your true self at the interviews and always remember that the recruitment process is supposed to be two ways not one way. The recruitment is extremely competitve so definitely do some research in advance and be prepared to provide examples around the times you've demonstrated their values. Be confident in yourself and give it all you've got!

Be yourself!

Research the company in depth and know the cores and values. Showcase the best version of yourself and the traits which make you outgoing and curious. Have an open mindset and be willing to challenge those in the interviews.

Be yourself and don't fake answers. I think a point of difference for Kraft Heinz is that they are trying to improve site culture/talent and therefore aren't just looking at grades or achievements of candidates but for 'best fit'. I wouldn't spend too much time preparing, just be yourself.

Be yourself

Just be completely honest in your interviews. That's what I feel like they were looking for

Learn the company values and prepare examples that will allow you to highlight how you apply those values in your day to day.

Read all about KH's values and think about how they align to you. Also look up their products so you know them well.

Be true to who you are - there is no point lying about who you are to get a job because then you will end up in a job that doesn't suit who you really are

Come in with an open mind and an eagerness to learn about every part of the company.

Understand why this is the industry you want to be with and be able to communicate that clearly.

Be open minded and ready to take any opportunity.

Be clear about your goals and expectations

Practice any areas that are you weaknesses. example financial, abstract, comprehension tests. Ask lots of questions at the assessment center and act confident. Don't be afraid to have different ideas to your peers at the assessment center and challenge them. Practice answers to your behavioral questions When asked to submit a 'creative' video, show your true colours. Don't just waste everyone's time and sit behind a desk answering questions.

Learn the company values very closely
