Interviewed Jun 2010 in Herndon, VA (took 2 months)
The hiring process began with a phone interview, then a video or in-person interiew, followed by a final interview day at the headquarters in Herndon, Virginia. The process was very long and grueling but was worth it. The program thus far has been great and I thoroughly enjoy everyone I work with. It is an excellent opportunity for recent college graduates and can provide a solid foundation for a career at the company.
It helps to have a passion for the products/industry because it will show and the company is looking for and needs more people who believe in the brands.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Herndon, VA (took 3 weeks)
Applied for the graduate program online on its careers website. I received a phone call from an outsourced HR company to do a pre-screening interview consisting of verification of prior entered information (resume, work experience, extra-curricular activities, etc). From there I received a call-back saying they wanted to interview me in the next round, either over Skype or in-person. I chose in-person. HR reviewed my resume for more clarification, then proceeded to question me on my knowledge of VW/Audi (its products, it's marketing campaigns, it's position in the appropriate markets) and some job-specific questions. HR told me it invited only 150 candidates for the second round and would only take 60 into the final round, which consists of a 1 1/2 day interview process. I was fortunate enough to get that call back. From the final round, the company will only hire 10. The final interviews will be with position-specific managers, hoping for the best

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Herndon, VA (took a day)
I was contacted by Ms. Robsinon who expressed interested in my resume and asked that I respond with a time to speak that worked for me the following day. She provided a time window and I selected a time that fell within that window. Coincidentally, was off the following day, and had to then plan my day around this supposed phone interview, which was smack dab in the middle of my day off. I also had to spend an hour on their website to be able to speak effectively about the company and the position. Well, I never heard back from her with any kind of acknowledgement of my email, nor did she get back as a COURTESY to let me know fo rsome reason she became uninterested (most likely my salary expectations). RUDE. I did not bother to follow up, because frankly, it makes her look bad as well as that company. I know two other people who had bad experiences with them as well and hear they lowball salary-wise. One of my friends flew to Detroit to interview for a $60K position which she did not get, the other had FOUR INTERVIEWS for an administrative position which fell through, again, she claims NO RESPONSE at all after all the time she invested in the interview process. RUDE RUDE RUDE. Some of these recruiters simply don't READ your full profile before contacting you, then they drop off the map after they initiate contact, which is unprofessional. UNPROFESSIONAL.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 2+ weeks)
Interviewed with HR and later with department general manager and department director for final interview. Was told that manager position that I had applied for was not open but sr. buyer position was available.
Negotiation Details
I did not negotiate wages as the offer was higher than the market rate for the position I originally wanted. The prevailing market condition in the Detroit area where the position was initially offered was very much in the favor of the VW, not the employee. VW Group of America pays well, but has demonstrated a tendency to modify the terms of employment in their favor whenever they see fit. I would recommended an employment contract unless you are comfortable with rule changes after the deal is struck. I would also not rely on an verbal commitments as management's word is best committed to paper.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 5 weeks)
Applied on-line and received an e-mail from HR department after about a month. HR person was very formal. Phone interview lasted 30 minutes basically going through the resume. After a month, had an on-site interview. On-site interview lasted a total of 3 hours. 1 hour with VP and director, and 2 hours with managers. Interview was very relaxed and interviewers were very polite. Because it is a german company, few differences were noticeable, such as majority of manager and up wearing suits. Interview questions were mainly asking questions based on the resume and 5 behavioral questions.
