I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ZF Group
Interview
I completed the whole interview process and was offered a job which I accepted. I then waited 1 month without receiving a final written offer letter or contract. Two weeks before the proposed start date I emailed HR to express my concerns that the start date was coming up and I still hadn't received a contract. I had to relocate so I requested to delay the start date so I would have time to move after receiving the contract. HR ignored me until a few days before my start date then told me that they decided to cancel my offer because of the request to delay the start date.
Be careful if you're relocating. They have the most incompetent and uncommunicative HR team I have ever dealt with.

The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ZF Group in Apr 2024
Interview
It began with the HR person mechanically presenting the company, speaking very rapidly as if reciting from a script. The responsible for the project seemed disengaged, not looking at the camera, possibly multitasking during the interview. He then proceeded to ask technical questions without providing any context. Following that, the HR representative asked a few standard questions about my strengths and weaknesses. Overall, the experience left a poor impression; it felt as though the human element was entirely missing from the process.
