Congratulations, KriVa!

Also still waiting for news overhere...

Did anybody else receive anything yet?

I take the fact there already seem to have been sent out 'good news e-mails' as a bad sign. :hmm:

Keeping fingers crossed!

Still waiting for news. Getting a bit nervous now

still no news here too ; i'm guessing that doesn't bode well =)

last time they sent the good mails first too ...
it was fun while it lasted :)

Just received confirmation about what I feared.
I didn't pass.

I hope there is a possibility to ask for an explanation? Because in the mail they say not to reply!

I would like to know why I didn't pass, allways convenient to know for the future.

I think they said we would receive explanation by letter.

That's too bad! I was looking forward to meeting at least some of you...
Don't they have an email address or phone number for the Human Resources departement? Perhaps you could contact them through that way.

The same here, not good news in the e-mail.
It's kind of annoying there is indeed no further information given about the why and how.

It blows anyway failing an interview, in my opinion.
I'd rather failed the first, second or fourth test then, since those are an objective evaluation of skills you fail or pass fair and square, rather than an interview where there's always a subjective interpretation of answers given to questions which might not even probe correctly the sought after competences.

On the other hand, I might have failed the English test, which I'd actually prefer.

I received an email overnight, inviting me to join the group assessment on June 30th, 8.30LT.

I received my invitation overnight too, sent at 2am so someone's doing some nighttime :p

Sorry to hear about those that didn't get good news, it sucks that they don't send out extra information as to why they made the decision they did. Can't really improve if they don't say mention what needs improving.

I wouldn't say this test wasn't objective, don't forget you filled out a personality test and in my experience these tests are rather accurate.
Fact is that there is no real right or wrong in this test, either you're someone who takes the lead or someone who follows, you're someone extravert or introvert, you're very self-confident or rather insecure, etc. For any of these there is no good or bad, but obviously there is a specific type of profile they are looking for. And also obviously this profile will be different than the profile a company is looking for when they want to hire a sales manager, a marketing expert, a scientific researcher, or whatever.

So no idea what the reason is, but there will probably be something that doesn't make you a perfect match for this job, and it's better to find that out now than when it's too late.

I agree with Tom. I failed btw.

As it has been with every round, I'm very curious as to how many applicants are left... The pdf is now named after the applicant's name, so there are no clues to be found there like last time.

67 candidates left ;-)

Thanks for mentioning that, Tom.
Coming from ±3500, I'd say we've got reason to be proud, even though some will of course sadly not make it through...

Thanks for the info! We're almost there, and yet, we are so far away :p

An interesting day, for sure.
Sadly, I can't divulge any information about the actual process, as it would give an unfair advantage to others.
I have a rather good feeling about the process, although that doesn't say anything about the actual result, of course. If anything, I am pleased the assessment itself went smoothly.

Good to hear it goes smoothly :) was it a full morning/afternoon or is it relatively short?

Our session lasted from 8.30 to 12.30. I don't think the time will vary much between sessions.

Wow that's quite long and very good, should give them a clear picture on everyone.

For those still in the running:
We were told to expect news about the group assessment from July 8th forward.
The date is of course only indicative, it may just as well be the 10th or next week.
In any case, come tomorrow, I'd start checking my mailbox.
I would do so too, but I'll be on a flight to the US tomorrow, so I'll only have WiFi in the afternoon, if at all.
