Behavioral Case Presentation
The whole hiring thing has three steps. First, there's an initial video chat with the person you'd report to and someone from HR. It's mostly to see if you're into the job, go over your past work, and tell you about the gig and what's expected. It's pretty standard, just an intro. If you make it past that, you get invited to Braunschweig for a case study and to present it. Getting there can be a pain if you don't have your own car because it's in an industrial area that's not exactly scenic. When you arrive, HR just kinda hands you a paper with the case study and a laptop, saying 'Here's the case study; you have one hour.' It's not exactly welcoming – no drinks, no breaks, just straight into it. You have 60 minutes to tackle five points in the case study, which is super tight. Afterwards, your future boss and a senior leader join to go over your presentation. It's very formal and blunt, zero small talk. They challenge your presentation, then say 'Thanks; we'll be in touch. We'll call you a Taxi.' The vibe is very old-school hierarchical, distant, and not at all friendly, which is weird for an international company aiming for a younger crowd. If you pass that, you get an email saying if you got the job or if they want to talk final offers. Honestly, it's a structured and formal process, but it felt really rigid and unwelcoming. The interviewers seemed to lack empathy and humor, almost like they thought they were better than everyone else. I checked out the moment I walked into that room and the door closed. It felt freezing, rushed, and totally unwelcoming, with no room for real connection. That's when I knew I didn't want to work there. So, I basically just did the presentation quickly to get it over with. I really think the interviewers should be less 'Germanic' in how they come across – smile, be pleasant, and try to actually connect with the candidate instead of just focusing on the case study results. That's how you'd actually see who someone is. Even though I'm German, I grew up in the UK and have a more English mindset. I can't imagine anyone not German being happy in that environment.
