I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Daikin (Waller, TX) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was a panel interview, which lasted about 30 minutes and included several discussions about expectations. They were specific with what they wanted in an intern, and quickly gave an offer.

Question 1
How does your past experience prepare you for this role?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Daikin (Ostende) in Jul 2019
Interview
The process consists of 2 interviews, one first technical (mostly hard skills) and the second one more focused on soft skills. The first interview is with 1 or 2 engineers and it goes quite fast, the technical questions are not difficult, just some basic stuff about the area you are applying to. The second interview is much longer and quite challenging, you are "grilled" by 4 director-level people, they ask a lot of questions on how would you solve an inter-personal problem, how to deal with colleges and bosses, you organisational methods, your ambitions and aspirations, what would you do if the project was running late, etc.
In the end they offered an insultingly low salary (less 500€/month than what I was already making at the time), and stated that they prefer to "reward" their employees with, for example," work abroad opportunities". Come on guys, I'm already an expat, my whole life is a never-ending "work abroad opportunity". I refused the offer.
