Negotiation Details – no negotiation

Interview Details – The interview process consisted of two interviews -- one on-campus interview at my school and one on-site interview. The on-campus interview was your standard one-hour behavioral interview. "Tell us about a time..."

The on-site interview took about half a day. There were two groups of four students interviewing for the program on the same day, half of us in the morning with the other half interviewing in the afternoon. The process consisted of a short introductory presentation followed by three separate two-on-one interviews. Two of those interviews were basic behavioral interviews, each with an HR team member and an engineer. The third interview was actually a technical presentation over a previous project I had completed. The presentation was about 20 minutes long with a 10 minute Q&A session with an engineer and HR team member.

After these three interviews, we had a half-hour long group project (the three other morning interviewees and myself). The project required us to solve some working relationship problems for a mythical company and then present what we thought while the entire interviewing team (about 7 people) watched. While I thought the group project was a nifty idea, I felt that it gave incentive to everyone to try and take over the situation to prove that they were the "right" choice. This led to some group dynamics that I feel aren't typical for actual engineering teams and led to what one could call as "controlled shouting" -- basically trying to speak up as much as possible and loud enough so that you were the only one talking for all to hear. This also could have been a by-product of my interview group and not the actual process.

After lunch, we switched "positions" with the afternoon interview group that had been doing a fun look at Bosch technology in a car.

Overall, I thought it was a pretty good interview process despite not receiving an offer.

Interview Details – Phone call then in person interview

Interview Details – The interview was extremely relaxed, and I enjoyed it for the most part. The guy was very laid back.

Interview Details – I received a call from the hiring manager and had one interview and an informal conversation before receiving an offer.

Negotiation Details – It was an internship, there was no negotiation

Interview Details – The hiring process was quick and simple. The internship spot needed to be filled as quickly as possible and the information that I provided on my resume gave them a clear idea of what I have done and the skills that would be applicable to the position. I had a phone interview and almost immediately got the position.

Interview Details – Label based with two teams and one one on one. Detailed, structured,position specific. Excellent questions aimed at learning about my experience and potential fit to the position being filled.

Negotiation Details – Straight,fair

Interview Details – This took a long time, but I was updated regularly and kept in the loop about how it was a start up plant and would take a long while to become hired. The hiring recruiter was a top-notch recruiter, and assured me throughout that it took time.

Negotiation Details – It was much better than I ever anticipated. The benefits are great!
