I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Rohde & Schwarz (Beaverton, OR) in Jan 2013
Interview
I met with three different groups of people. The interviews were either 1 on 1 or 2 on 1. The questions they asked were very reasonable and fair. They asked about my motivation, sw process, and detailed engineering questions. The people were very respectful and professional. A very reasonable interview. I was there for a little over five hours. I felt that they has tried to learn about my capabilities and how I would fit both technically and personally.

Question 1
One person asked a question about sorting. I really struggled with the answer. I am not sure there was a right answer but the person asking wanted me to think out loud. This type of questioning, while fair, really make me uncomfortable. I want the time needed to really think it through which is difficult in an interview.
A long one with multiple sessions spanning mulitple days. Some are with head of labs and some are with developers; while some are with HR. A real coding implementation needed to be done.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rohde & Schwarz (Stuttgart) in May 2023

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Rohde & Schwarz (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview experience was terrible. Interviewer's behavioral aspects are questionable in first place. Poor communication skill, hustling,skimming through questions,questioning the abilities of the interviewee etc. It seemed as if the interviewer had already made up his mind for rejection since the beginning of the interview. Although there were 2 people in the interview panel, one person was mum till the end while the other ran a terrible show.Strange that a company of this caliber relies upon unprofessional people for recruitment activities.
