I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ricardo (Schwäbisch Gmünd) in Jan 2013
Interview
My interview was done only with one person from the technical department, without any representative from the HR. It was a very friendly but highly technical interview. I guess they were only interested in my technical know-how rather than my character. For me it was very positive because of my deep knowledge on their offered position. Another interview was planned with HR but, due to their internal agreement, it was cancelled. I got the offer without the second interview.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ricardo (Shanghai, Shanghai) in May 2016
Interview
Telephone interview.
Interview consisted with
1. Company profile - description of the company and what they do
2. Self introduction - from university to current career, what I have done and what level I have reached
3. technical knowledge - some technical questions to gauge extent of my knowledge and how I would deal with certain scenarios
4. company requirements - they described what they were looking for based on the previous answers and how I would fit into the team
