Application Process & Interviews at Honeywell Australia and New Zealand

I had a streamlined and expedited process great communication between hiring manager, hr team and myself. Smoothest I've ever had. Process involved aptitude testing, recorded interview questions, face-to-face interview.

Online assessments, assessment centre and follow-up interview

usually a 3-step process: 1. Initial phone interview, followed by online assessment games. 2. Assessment centre: In person huddle with other prospective graduates that focuses on a specific challenge to be solved in groups. The activity is engaging and fun and offers a chance to talk to previous graduates at the company about their experience. 3. Final interview with your prospective boss.

Hiring process was good. The process consisted of submitting your resume, cover letter, and academic transcript in a job application, after which if you made it through the initial screening you would need to complete a polymetric assessment and online recorded interview. Upon completion of this your responses would be reviewed and the recruitment team would shortlist people who they wanted to attend the assessment centre. In the assessment centre you will given a introduction to the company and the sort of work it does, and then you would split into groups of 4-5 where you brainstorm possible solutions to a scenario/problem statement. Here you will have a couple of managers/senior engineers watching/assessing your soft skills, and technical problem-solving skills. This will give them great insight into your personality and capabilities. This will be followed by one-one interviews with senior engineers or managers. The assessment centres run over a couple of weeks across the states in Australia. Once they have been completed the recruitment team along with team managers will make a selection of the candidates they want to offer positions to, and then reach out via a phone call to gauge if you are still interested and begin the process of officially recruiting you to the company.

very good

stressful but as expected, enjoyed learning about Honeywell as this got me excited for my future. Robbie is super informative and great to have a chat with, chatting with the previous grads was also a great insight.

Resume, phone call interview, online technical, quantitative and psychometric assessments, in-person activities and interview with managers.

I think the gap between first apply for the role and then going to the assessment centre was several months, I had totally forgotten I had applied. But I think that was a once off situation. The process after the assessment centre was definitely expedited and I was told I got the job rather quickly. The assessment were interesting, and required collaboration with other group members, whilst people were assessing you from the side. A little daunting at first, but soon you adapt.

you apply online, online skill test type quiz, online pre-recorded interview, assessment day with group activity and interviews, 2nd interview to meet with teams interested in you.

Hiring process is amazing with Honeywell but the onboarding company from Philippines is very incompetent with people not even reading emails properly. Had to send the same documents a few times because the person was not reading her emails and looking at attachments.

Same process to most engineering companies but did take a while to sort out all the paperwork at the end which was a bit stressful.

The Interview Process is fairly typical for an engineering company. Comprises of Phone Interview, Online Assessments, Group Interview and individual Interview

I had used chat gpt to come up with interview questions based on the job description. I think that combined with the STAR interview framework helped me prepare well.

Know what you want to do within the company, be specific in which projects/type of work you want to do.

Research the company well. It's massive so can be a bit confusing. Understand the different verticals of the company and where you want to work because it's easy to get lost in a big company like Honeywell.

Familiarise yourself with the STAR format Prepare good situations you want to talk about and which are applicable to multiple typical interview questions
