I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Knauf (Kitzingen) in Mar 2023
Interview
The interview process is more of a open discussion with extremely professional individuals. I had 03 rounds of interview - 1. Screening with HR 2.Technical round with Team Lead 3.Final round with HR, Team Lead and Hiring Manager. The interviewers are all extremely friendly, mature and considerate and it's more of a discussion where they try to know you as a person, what drives you , what skills you have and the culture fit. The entire process was smooth, crisp and the channels of communication was open throughout with timely scheduling of interview rounds. OVERALL A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR ME!!
