Behavioral Technical
It was pretty brief, mostly just questions about my resume and how I approach problems. It felt like a behavioral interview, but honestly, they probably just wanted to see how my experiences related to the job. It was tough though because the role details were super vague.

Technical Behavioral
A few technical questions about studies and the Bachelor's thesis. Otherwise, about interest in the company and about myself. Generally, a rather relaxed atmosphere and getting to know each other on an equal footing. I accepted the offer. The contract arrived within a few days.

Behavioral Technical
The process was quick. Although the job posting was in German and I only speak English, my German CV and PhD title got me invited to two interview rounds. The team and HR were very professional. During the second interview, HR asked many challenging behavioral questions, while the two directors had few questions for me. I felt good after the first interview but nervous after the second.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process had 2 stages. The first stage was with the hiring manager about project experience and domain knowledge. The second stage involved talking with the team and included behavior questions. After that, I got a call saying they decided to offer me the job, with 4 days to consider. I replied that I accept the offer. Then, after one day, they said, 'unfortunately, we’ve decided finally for another candidate who meets our needs from a technical point of view better. I am very sorry for these news on such a short notice. This has nothing to do with you as a person and I hope that we can stay in touch.' It felt unprofessional and like a red flag for the company culture.
