(i’m using g2w as an example)

Q: Considering g2w is into the business of creating fun & happiness, what one (non extravagant) monthly activity would you initiate to ensure g2w’s work environment remains just as fun & engaging?

Describe your ideal place of work in as much detail as you can. Try and cover every aspect that would make it ideal for you – people, culture, pay, etc

If I called your manager and asked what one thing irritated them about you, what would they say?

What was your claim to fame in your previous role?

If you had a magic wand and could have any job, what would it be?

If you’re offered this job how could you transform the role?

.. these are not my original but i found them very interesting

I will first explain him/her one problem statement/example related to sexual / mental harassment scenario at workplace. Then i will ask,

Q: How will you deal with this issue?
Amod Gokhale July 28, 2015, 11:30 am

If it’s India.

1. Ask Manager to name all applicable laws of companies

2. Ask him about easiest and toughest decision he has taken as HR manager.

3. Ask him why a full time HR manager is required as it can be easily outsourced with less money!
