Interview
Extremely long and drawn out process - 5 months of periodic 1 hour interviews, 2 assessments and a lengthly essay-esque Q&A request after the initial application. They never confirm what salary range you're looking at either, which makes one wonder if the time is even worth it. And they have certain "health requirements" that are wildly out of date given no countries require them for entry anymore.
The worst part - if you get to the end of the process and they decide you aren't what they want, they point blank say that they will not give ANY feedback as to why. While I could understand that for a first or second interview, after getting so close to the finish line, a candidate deserves a little personal touch - at least more than a form email!

Interview
step 3, first part: 3 interviews with peers, each lasting 1 hour. they asked me different questions during each interview. Questions: What is my experience with handling expense reports? What is needed to organize a great event? Did I have an uncomfortable situation with a colleague, and how did I solve it?

Interview
I received an email after submitting my application asking me to complete a written interview, and then I would have 4 1-hour interviews, followed by additional interviews (amount and duration not listed).
The written interviewed asked me about my high school experience and college entrance exams scores.
All of this and they don't have the pay range available. I dropped out of the process immediately due to their atrocious process. They are definitely leaving good talent on the table with this approach.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please state your high school graduation results or university entrance results and explain the grading system used. For example, in the US, you might give your SAT or ACT scores. In Germany, you might give your scores out of a grading system of 1-5, with 1 being the best.
