I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Continental (Singapur) in Nov 2021
Interview
I applied online and was shortlisted for an Online Assessment (IQ Pattern matching and Math aptitude test. After the test, I was called for an online interview with the senior specialist and the head of the department (2 member panel). In the interview process, I explained my past projects and many of the questions were from previous projects. Questions like why you did x, and not y. The head of the department is a non-technical guy and thus asked why I am looking to switch jobs and various behavioural questions.
Following it up, the senior specialist tested coding skills in Python, C++, and Machine learning (20-30 mins). Total interview lasted 1hr 15 mins

I applied online. I interviewed at Continental in May 2020
Interview
I interviewed there twice (the first time I got an offer I accepted, left the company after a while, did another interview later on for a similar position, but opted for some other company).
Both interviews made sense, in terms of technical knowledge: the first time I was asked about the concepts that might be helpful for that position (not so much oriented towards the technologies used), and the second time I had two tasks to figure out straight away, directly derived from the problems the team faces on a regular basis. So, both times it was designed to see if I could really contribute to the team tasks.

I applied online. I interviewed at Continental (Shanghái, Shanghai) in May 2019
Interview
Submitted CV, after a few days the HR gave a call interview and asked some basic questions and it is very easy. Then the senior controller interviewed me and it lasted about 30 minutes.
