The application process involved 2 rounds. First, I had an interview with the team lead. Then, I had a second interview with the regional manager and the HR department at their Egelsbach location. Both conversations were on equal footing, conducted fairly. All my questions were answered thoroughly. I felt valued at all times.

First, a consultant contacted me. It took a week to get selected. They arranged an appointment with the branch manager, who conducted the interview and got approval from the head office. The branch manager's decision is the main thing.
