Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
The interview process usually starts with a recruiter call, which is pretty informal, just to get to know each other and discuss the job's requirements and what the applicant is looking for. After that, you'll likely have an onsite interview at MBRDI ITPL on a weekday. This one is more in-depth, and you might even get to do some coding on a provided laptop. Whether you get to code depends on the interviewer; if they're more collaborative, they might help you remember things, otherwise, you're on your own. Then there's a managerial round focused on accountability and ownership, assessing your work behavior, mindset, and past experiences. You'll also learn about Benz's values. It's straightforward, but be honest about what you know. The final round is with HR, which can be trickier than the technical ones because Benz really values integrity and long-term relationships. So, be confident and truthful. There's a bit of a follow-up with HRs after, which can be a little annoying, but if you've done well, you should be expecting an offer. Just make sure you have the official offer before resigning. Good luck!

Technical Behavioral
I got referred and they called me for a technical phone interview 3 days in advance. The planning and the interview experience were good. It was one technical phone interview, followed by two in-person technical rounds, and then an HR round. I was told I cleared all rounds and they would get back to me. The HR process is extremely slow, taking 45 days to respond and 60 days for an offer, making me question their interest. Salary negotiation was very tough, they bargained like street vendors. Friends at Daimler said it's not worth joining due to poor work quality and salary. The Indian counterpart, MBRDI, is in early stages and gets unimportant, residual, and trivial tasks from Germany.
