First, there was a video call for introductions, to talk about my motivation and go over my resume. Then, I had an in-person meeting where they asked more in-depth questions about my background and specific experiences, and also presented a business case. They wanted to know how I would approach a given project, including creating a project plan and defining milestones.

So the interview process here was set up in a way that the first interview was for the recruiter to get to know the candidate better. The second interview was for the candidates to ask questions and learn about the job scope. However, this made my first interview feel very one-sided. There was no introduction of the recruiter or Zeiss. The recruiter also wasn't very smiley, and it was just a back-and-forth conversation between questions and answers. The whole atmosphere felt tense.
