I applied online. I interviewed at IDEALworks (Munich, Bavaria) in Feb 2026
Interview
War größtenteils fragen zur person und Lebenslauf. Keine direkten technischen Fragen.
Beim Lebenslauf wurde sehr nachgehackt und man musste den Impact erklären. Es ist jedoch kein Problem da auch mal nicht direkt weiter zu wissen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Stichpunkte aus dem Lebenslauf mit großem Detail benatworten und auf nachfragen eingehen
I recently went through a two-round interview process:
Round 1 – HR (30 mins):
The HR round was pretty straightforward and lasted about half an hour. It was a smooth conversation where we covered my background, motivation, and overall fit for the role. The tone was friendly and engaging.
Round 2 – Hiring Manager (60 mins):
This was a much more intense and fast-paced session. The Hiring Manager asked over 24+ questions in just an hour, covering everything from technical setups (like VPNs, MDMs, Intune) to hands-on project experience, troubleshooting, and even a few personal insights. The tone was very fast, and it definitely felt like a deep dive into both my technical and professional background.
