Applied online, then had a phone chat with HR. After that, did a task-based assessment. Finally, had a video interview with the hiring manager. It was a pretty straightforward process, and I got a good feel for what they were looking for and the company vibe.

Behavioral Presentation

It was an online interview with two supervisors and HR. They were all very friendly and interested, and overall made this interview a good experience. Although I didn't get the job, they took the effort to tell me personally and were overall very nice. Questions in the interview were nothing out of the ordinary.

Behavioral Presentation

It was an online interview. The group leader, team leader, and someone from HR were connected from the DFG. After introductions and a brief overview of my resume, we discussed the required tasks and qualifications. There were no surprising questions.
