I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KARL STORZ (Teamate) in Oct 2025
Interview
It was arranged very fast. The job description was written in German while I only speak English. With a German CV and phd title I was invited to the first and second round of interviews. The team and HR are very professional. However, in the second interview, I was aksed by HR for many tricky behaviour questions while two Directors didn't have questions for me so much. I felt good after the first interview and felt nervous after the second one.
