I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Continental (Lewes, England) in Feb 2015
Interview
I was interviewed by the algorithm leader and the HR. The atmosphere was not friendly at all. The interviewer's exposure to the field was quite limited and he was arrogant and dismissive all the time. At many points he was not able to follow the terminology. He seemed not to be aware of the challenges that you need to face in order to solve basic computer vision problems (e.g pose invariance on object detection or the differences between sparse and dense optical flow)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to describe the functional modules of some popular algorithms on optical flow and calibration.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Continental
Interview
Got contacted by a recruiter, I did several phone interviews HR interview about the background and career outlook, one on one interview with a manager going through my experiences where I was asked to clarify and further explain some parts of my CV, then a panel interview where different people asked technical questions and a final HR interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to look at some code and tell then what it does. I was also asked how I would solve a vision problem.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Continental (Lewes, England) in Sep 2013
Interview
Only a phone interview with generic questions. Hardly anything technical... great for incompetent well spoken people. I was living in another country at the time and received a phone call where I went through my past work experience. Then I was asked a generic "how would you go about solving problem A", to which anything remotely sensible was enough. Then I was asked what a virtual procedure was (in C++) and that was it. One week later I received a job offer.
Dear colleague,
thank you very much for your feedback on Glassdoor.
We are always eager to improve our processes in all areas. Since September 2013 we changed our interview process fundamentally to make sure that a proper evaluation of each candidate is possible.
The first interview is still in most of the cases a telephone interview as we are interviewing candidates from all over the world. But whenever possible we invite candidates for a second face to face interview to our offices. However we are aware that that is not always possible and we have to conduct a video interview.
We are continuously improving our interview process and appreciate input from candidates on this topic.
Best regards,
Continental Career Team
