I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ams OSRAM (Singapur) in Apr 2020
Interview
Due to Covid-19, safety measures were in place and it was well done.
The interview was very smooth and the hiring managers was professional. The gave the introduction and the objective and goal, it was straight to the point without much about personal past experience. Some questions about technical understanding, but overall was smooth.
Although, I believe it can be hiring manager dependent but overall this it has a good vibe and it was done as professional as possible. The HR team followed up on the update and was well done.

Question 1
Have you had experience in related to machine or hands on?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at ams OSRAM (Herbrechtingen) in Dec 2019
Interview
A lot of questions were asked. They were particularly concerned if I have enough knowledge about the post I applied for. I had to go for the interview in person.
Dear colleague,
Thank you for your positive feedback regarding the application process.
All the best for your future career at OSRAM.
Best regards,

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ams OSRAM (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Very fast. Positive experience speaking to the executive team up until they said they were working on the offer. Then they went silent. Another candidate entered the picture and they changed course. Fine, it happens, but be transparent -- don't mislead, don't lie. The recruiter was completely left out of the loop -- they didn't respond to his calls or emails. He was completely embarrassed and humiliated. Once he finally spoke to them, they told him they were drafting the offer and they needed a few more days. Then silent again and no response to his emails or phone calls. They were totally unprofessional. I have to also mention that they said over and over again that they don't tolerate politics in their organization. Wrong. Not one member of the management. Ultimately, the outcome was fortunate for me. Their revenue plunged. Their stock plunged. Their market share plunged. Phew.
