They reached out via email for an initial interview. There's only one interview, and if you're a good fit, HR will contact you. If not, you won't hear back. They usually let you know via email who you'll be interviewing with and offer you choices for dates. You get about a week to prepare.

Behavioral Technical

First there was a phone interview with HR and then with the manager, via video call. The HR interview was short, focusing on generic questions and my interest in the job. The manager interview was long and of great quality. They asked me general questions, and also more specific ones. They also asked me many technical questions. The process depends on the department you will work in.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process was pretty fast, starting with a virtual meeting with a senior director who asked some basic technical questions to gauge my understanding. This was followed by a multi-hour onsite interview with some team members. Unfortunately, the interviewers seemed unprepared and asked questions that were quite random and unrelated to the job. It's only fair for interviewers to put in as much preparation as candidates. It was evident that two of them hadn't even reviewed my resume before the interview.

Quoted word for word from GEA Group interview reports.

Could you solve a mass-balance problem that involves slurry feed, a solid/powder product with moisture, evaporated water, and drying air? This would involve basic input vs. output calculations, accounting for separations into multiple lines, and considering evaporation and separating units.
