I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Continental (Budapest) in Jan 2023
Interview
There were two online rounds. For the 1st when they have a sent a homework, which had to be prepared prioir to the interview, it took 4-6 hours. Then with the interviewer we have gone over the implementation of the homework, talked about my experience and what to expect from the job. The 2nd round was with the team leader and HR colleague, it was about team fit, they had questions about how I handle stress, conflicts, and how I imagine myself in 4-5-6 years.
