I applied online. I interviewed at EPO (A Haia) in May 2019
Interview
Two stages, two online meetings, one live meeting. Commuting costs payed after very long time, overall process took long and the only feedback was I was successful but epo has simply no place for such position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Resumed, electricity, patent law, power electronics
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at EPO (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2018
Interview
The process is tough and you need a bit of luck to get through the first few stages. Put emphasis on your first technical interview and prepare the given tasks VERY carefully. This one is the key to get the F2F "recall". Both, my technical interview and my F2F interview, were very nice, but also very tough. The Skype HR interview(er) was not really fit for the role and their target applicants. Overall, the process from application to offer takes way too long (8 months for me), is way too beaurocratic, and in the end the final offer is way less than they advertise in the job posting. Every job grade level raise requires 6 years work experience, so only worth it if you come straight from university.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Very detailed technical questions on given patents.
How you deal with stress, repetitiveness, tough deadlines and pressure from above. Did not really paint a nice picture of their ethics and company values
Viele Stufen. zunaechst technisches interview ueber skype, dann online tests und schliesslich persoenliches interview. Insgesamt ist der Bewerbungsprozess sehr aufwendig und langwierig. Mitarbeiter waren sehr professionell und die Atmosphaere sehr angenehm.
