I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vestas Wind Systems (Chennai) in Feb 2018
Interview
Initial telephonic interview. Questions about work experience as well as proficiency in software like ANSYS. If cleared, invited for face-to-face interview. Also would be asked to take Hogan Personality Assessment test. During Face-to-face interview, asked about questions from wide range of topics related to one's work experience as well as structural engineering. Very difficult to focus as you're given few seconds to think and answer. They prefer candidate who has work experience in similar projects and has very high proficiency in software like ANSYS regardless of years of experience.
