I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Allianz (München, Bayern) in Nov 2012
Interview
Interviews with HR and then with line manager were professional, open and fair.
Questions were focused on professional achievements and career ambitions, as well as personal motivation and style to determine "fit" with the company culture.
HR also took time to describe the role in greater detail, explain how the position fits into the organizational structure and the big picture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
e.g. Describe a challenge you recently faced and how you overcame it.
Describe your responsibilities and achievements in your previous role.
