First, there was a quick 20min chat with the manager, which felt friendly. Then, I got a homework task involving analyzing some company data and preparing a short pitch on the company's situation. They mentioned it should take about 2 hours. The last interview was an hour long with the manager and department head. We discussed my task results and they asked some technical questions. After that, I heard nothing for over a month. I sent three polite follow-ups, but only got a reply after the third one. The manager apologized and said I should have gotten a message from HR. He then sent a generic rejection, no personal feedback, which was surprising for a final stage.

Behavioral
The interviews felt very robotic and cold, with a tough round of STAR-based questions right after introductions. While I understand time pressures, it would have been good for them to discuss their company, especially since I did my due diligence and they didn't ask about it. This is often an indicator of company culture. A hiring manager should show enthusiasm and passion for their company, as it's a two-way street where they need to sell the role to you too. The questions were standard STAR, but I found it challenging to provide a relevant example for one question due to being from a different sector.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process had 2 rounds, though it felt more like one. The first round was a meeting with the Head of Operations, along with several maintenance craft managers and the reliability manager. They asked me some questions about my current job and my career interests. They also asked some technical questions, and they were nice enough to explain them even when I couldn't answer. The second round involved a site visit and was more of a discussion. I met my potential manager, who clearly explained the organizational structure and processes. He was also very open in answering my questions.

The interview process began with a 1st round interview with the local Linde representative. Following that, there was a 2-day Assessment Center at Linde HQ in Munich. This included a presentation I had to prepare, a second interview with three international Linde representatives and HR personnel, and a mock situation where candidates had to respond to a difficult scenario. For example, I had to act as a manager dealing with an employee who wasn't communicating well with the team or meeting deadlines, and my response was evaluated. It was a positive experience overall, and Linde covered all travel, food, and accommodation expenses for participants.
