I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Magna International in Mar 2014
Interview
Relaxed but professional interview environment by the HR-Manager and General Manager. They asked me general questions about myself, what experience I have in the field I applied for and what I think in about future development of the industry
The interview was long but organized. I spoke with the hiring manager, HR, and two technical positions (separately) for a total of about 3 hours. The interview itself was not intense, though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing out of the ordinary, just about my engineering experiences in college, skills and abilities, traits as a worker, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at Magna International (Auburn Hills, MI)
Interview
Asked questions about Kalman filter, PID control, and finally a simple C++ coding session to test my understanding of classes & inheritance . The interview was one stage and lasted 45 minutes.
Prefers in person to online interviews. Usually multiple interviewers. Not typically technical questions, mostly behavioural. Memorize your resume, they will have read through it in detail by the interview. A strong handshake and good eye contact will go far.
