I applied through university. I interviewed at ZF Group
Interview
Got a call from HR to schedule an interview. Had an onsite interview with the manager and an engineer. Manager showed me around the facility. Interview took 1 hr and got a call back 1 week later. Upon graduation, u was hired full time for the postiton. No further interview was conducted.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ZF Group (Mesa, AZ)
Interview
2 interviews. First interview was maybe 10 minutes with a recruiter, very laid back, kind of a screening. 2nd interview was a panel interview on-site with 4 engineers and an HR representative. Read questions off a sheet, but good conversation back and forth goes a long way. Was taken on a tour of the facilities following the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience working with large data sets and how did you approach those problems?
Thank you for sharing your interview experience! We're glad to hear the process felt positive and that you appreciated the structure and conversations during the interviews. It's great that you had the opportunity to tour the facility as well - getting a feel for the environment is an important part of the experience. We wish you continued success in your journey with ZF! Best regards, Ewa
One round not too difficult. Asked basic HR questions no technicals but was very open ended and did not provide details on the job. Asked many questions on my skill levels and what I would do in a situation.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ZF Group (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2025
Interview
Had one phone call that felt super comfortable, like chatting with friends. It flowed naturally, very conversational and relaxed. No pressure, just an easy and enjoyable exchange that left a great impression.
