It was just a getting-to-know-you session where they asked general questions about my studies, experience, and what I'm looking for. They wanted to know which area I want to start in, how I found out about the position, and what my future expectations are, including regarding potential conversion after my work.

It was a 3 stage interview process. Two stages were online and the last one was on-site. The last stage involved meeting with Romanian and German managers. I had to prepare a graphic design presentation using ebm-papst's corporate design for this final interview. They also gave me a quick visual design test during the last interview.

Started with a recruiter call about my background and how it fits the job. Then, a technical phone screen with questions on basic frontend stuff. Next was an onsite with two team members where they asked more detailed frontend questions and about my current projects. Finally, an HR call to go over the offer.

There were technical issues so we had to reschedule. I got a call without a scheduled time that I missed because I was in a meeting. A few minutes later, I got an email saying they would no longer be moving forward with my application. This email was also sent to someone with a different job title.
