I interviewed at Mercedes-Benz Group (Sindelfingen)
Interview
Relatively smooth, mostly questions about your education and then presented the topics of the internship . It took about 30 minutes overall at the headquarters. Got a phone call one week later.
Interview appointment came very late, 3 weeks after applying. The interview was conducted in English. However, I found it difficult to answer all the questions. Hence I could not be accepted for selection.
