I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Volkswagen Group (Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia) in Dec 2018
Interview
A few weeks after applying online, I received invitation to an onsite interview with the hiring manager and a software engineer. In this interview they asked mostly about my background and some technical questions about connected car technology and software testing.
Later I was invited to another onsite interview with the hiring manager, an HR representative and the director. They were mostly interested in finding out my motivation for the job, my future career plans and my previous technical experiences. Some HR questions related to work behaviour and interpersonal relations.
