Application Process & Interviews at Kraft Heinz Company New Zealand

There were several stages in the application process including, initial application, assessment centers, different levels of interviews/presentations

Was a rather long interview process containing multiple stages. The main downside to the process was having to complete it all online, however the team handled it extremely well considering. The main stages were a self recorded video interview, assessment center with other applicants & a individual presentation & interview

For the graduate programme; rigorous. Multi-stage, many rounds including group interviews + individual presentations. In recent years the competitive nature of the interview process has been toned down ( a good thing).

Was rigorous, but communication was lacking

Five stages: CV & Psychometric Testing, Video Interview, Group Interview, Panel Interview, Final Interview with MD

There were a numbers of mixed ups (meeting with extended leadership team was double booked with another meeting). Notice were given somewhat within a reasonable amount of time.

To be honest I can't exactly remember other than what is your biggest weakness

We were lucky enough to get to present a case study in our individual interview. This allowed us to demonstrate a bit about ourselves as well as how we would tackle a problem using our experience. Some questions were related to our presentation & others were questions such as tell us a time when you displayed "insert attribute"

The standard interview questions. How I had demonstrated the company culture in my behavior.

Situational questions i.e. tell me about a time you failed, tell me about a time you demonstrated leadership

Which of the 5 kraft Heinz values do you resonate the most and why?

Be yourself. Whatever that might mean to you I think authenticity is very important at our company

Would definitely be yourself and remember that it is not only about whether you would be a good fit for the company but also would the company be a good fit for you.

Be different, be a personality. Ask thoughtful questions. Don't try to be too corporate.

Be prepared by learning the company visions and values. Show motivation and confidence.

Just be yourself. Don't just say yes because you think that's what we want to hear. We genuinely want to put people in the correct role for them

Have a good structure for answering situational questions i.e. STAR technique. Prepare multiple examples where you demonstrate particular skills.

Have known expectations of what you are wanting to learn from tenure in the company and what aspirations you have within the company
