I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Terma (Darmstadt)
Interview
First call with HR to know you and explaining the role, responsibilities and what does the Company do, Then if they think you're suited, it schedule a virtual meeting for a technical interview with the manager and some other technical people. If you pass it they are going to provide you an offer. If you accept the offer HR is going to check on you from time to time to see if everything is ok and proceeding as planned.
The interview started with a power point presentation of what the company does and their values/purpose. After that, they began with asking me to tell a bit about myself, why did i choose to be a software engineer, what values I bring to the team etc.
There were 2 people - the Hiring Manager and potential colleague. The 'colleague' was basically bombarding me with technical questions for a good 30 mins. After he was done, he left the interview. The remainder of the interview was the Hiring Manager explaining to me the benefits that the company provides, as well as the next steps of the 2nd interview.
Overall, pretty awkward and strict interview.
The interview starts in a standard way, with TERMA asking about the candidate background. Technical questions are related to the fundamentals of C++ and spacecraft in general (e.g. what is a sensor, what is an AOCS subsystem, etc..). Interview concludes with a description of what TERMA do as a company
