First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at BMW Group.
Intern
My internship interview with BMW Group was short but gave me a good look into what they expect. After my resume got through and I did an online game test, I had a 45-minute video chat with a manager and HR. We talked about my technical skills and how I'd use the 'BMW way' to tackle production issues. I didn't make it to the next stage, which is usually a team chat or case study. They said I fit the culture but lacked specific software experience for their team. Still, it showed me the high bar BMW sets for interns.
- What are your ideas on incorporating circular economy concepts into the design of future BMW vehicles?
Intern
The interview process started with a 30-minute initial conversation, followed by a case study that took about an hour in total. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. They asked questions about aftersales and market understanding. The case study involved a self-presentation and discussing what you see as the biggest challenges in Automotive Aftersales up to 2030. The entire process, including the presentation, was conducted in English.
- What do you understand about the advertised position?

Intern
So there were two interviews total. First up was a phone call, and it was in English. Then, the second one was actually in person. The phone interview was mostly about why I wanted to work there and what I'm good and not so good at. The in-person one was more about seeing if I'd fit in with the team.
- Could you explain your motivation for applying to this role?
- Can you tell me about your strengths and weaknesses?
