I applied online. I interviewed at ALTEN (Hamburgo) in Sep 2020
Interview
The interview process was rather quick and mostly unspecific in terms of responsibilities and tasks of the role. Neither HR nor the hiring manager had a clear image of what the exact day to day would look like. Hiring manager was rather fond of himself and tried to sell Alten as a high tech engineering company - a very different image from what I was used to, considering the high turnover rate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell us about a difficult situation you experienced during your studies and how you overcame it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ALTEN in Jun 2024
Interview
Initial headhunted via Phone call - Primary phone interview done - was meant to progress to initial teams interview but no response from them. Was called up ~2 months later stating that their system must have malfunctioned, continued interview process. 2:1 teams interview explaining myself, and them explaining how alten works. Was told would only be getting a salary max of £36,000 for 8 years experience in the Mechanical Engineering industry, so decided not to continue as other roles suited for me were £45-60,000 with far more benefits, and they were interviewing me without having a project for me to work on anyway. Basically a huge waste of time. Would not recommend.
