It was a wonderful interview. The questions are simple and based on your resume. This is a core company for mechanical engineering. First, they will give an internship role with some stipends, then the permanent job to be assigned.

Behavioral Technical
The overall interview process was very straightforward. You get contacted by a HR rep first and they will ask you to answer a couple of questions through email. Then you will have a phone call with them and go through a preliminary screening interview. This will only take around 30 minutes. Next, you are scheduled a technical interview with one of the engineer managers. This is much more in-depth and took around an hour and half for me.

Behavioral Presentation Group
It was a well-prepared, nice, and comfortable process. There was a team and individual component. We had a workplace tour and met with the teams. There was an assessment for behavior and motivation. From the start to the end, it was all professional and targeted. They gave a nice explanation of Danish, European, and American cultural nuances. They asked about my interest in the global environment, making sure I could work in an international context.
