I participated in an on-site interview at ZEISS and was extremely disappointed by their lack of professionalism throughout the recruitment process.
After dedicating significant time and effort to preparing for the interview and traveling to their location, I followed up with the HR contact and the manager who interviewed me. Despite several attempts, including emails and phone calls, I never received any feedback or update regarding the outcome of the process.
To make matters worse, I eventually discovered through their system that the recruitment process had been completed, yet I was not informed. To this day, I have not received any formal communication or feedback. While I understand that other candidates may have been selected, failing to notify candidates of the result is highly unprofessional and disrespectful.
This experience was disappointing and left me questioning the company’s commitment to valuing candidates' time and effort. I expected much better from a company of ZEISS’s reputation and hope they improve their recruitment processes in the future.

Keine fachlichen Fragen, eher Fokus auf typische Interview-Fragen (Warum Zeiss, warum Oberkochen, was werden Ihre Aufgaben sein, zukünftige Pläne, etc.); versprochene Rückmeldedauer wurde nie eingehalten; die Verzögerung wurde auch nicht kommuniziert

Zunächst herzlichen Dank für Dein Interesse an einer Position bei ZEISS. Warum ein Bewerbungsprozess unter Umständen einige Zeit in Anspruch nehmen kann, kann von den unterschiedlichsten Faktoren abhängen, die wir ohne Kenntnis weiterer Einzelheiten für Deinen Fall leider nicht pauschal beantworten können.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ZEISS Group (Hebron, KY)
Interview
The Interview process was easy. Nothing out of ordinary. Be ready to perform a drug check. No complaints, very straight forward other than that I would highly reccomend working for this company
