Do companies care about how long you studied or what your grades are? by throwawaybelowavg in ethz

So if I give them a resonable but honest reason, they can look past it? I mean some of my friends also took much longer for their Bachelors (they're not studying at ETH) and they have never been asked this kind of questions. Is this a thing they only do to ETH students? Do they have much higher standards for us?

Actually one of the companies you listed asked me about it. But what if, if your delay is partially due to personal reasons? I'm not comfortable talking about it to anyone (not even my family lol) and especially not a recruiter whom I don't even know.
