The interview process was very professional and the recruiting team prepared very well for the interview. The interaction was very appreciative. The status updates and communication during the subsequent period were also of very high professionalism.

Behavioral Group
I interviewed for the Stihl 2026 internship program in São Leopoldo. The first part was a group interview run by IEL (Instituto Euvaldo Lodi). About 15 of us were evaluated by an IEL recruiter. She gave us a set of questions and we each had to introduce ourselves based on those prompts. I found it really cold and awkward because the recruiter wasn't looking at the screen when people spoke, it felt like we were talking to ourselves (I hope she was taking notes though), she asked some people questions but not others. It felt very cold and not welcoming at all. Another important thing to mention is that the internship positions on the IEL site for Stihl have a filter for specific courses, and if you're studying something SIMILAR for the area but it's not LISTED for the job, you can't apply, which makes it quite limited.

Behavioral Technical
After submitting my resume, I had a meeting with the supervisor. It wasn't anything too complicated, mostly just talking about my past experiences and what I plan to do in the future. They asked what I liked and about any courses I've taken. They also added some random filler text.

Behavioral Technical
The interview felt very arrogant. The discussion kept revolving around corporate processes and guidelines, and how one would handle them. Feedback took a very long time. Usually, interview times are scheduled for the beginning or end of the day out of consideration for applicants. At Stihl, the interviews were in the middle of the day. Apparently, overtime for the four participants wasn't compatible with corporate guidelines.
