I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Bukarest, ) in May 2015
Interview
Very professional recruiters, helpful and kind. Prompt feedback via e-mail and also willing to assist with additional answers during the recruitment process. After the phone screening was performed it took a bit of time to set up the face to face interview where the focus was mainly on people management techniques and experience and also i had to present a case study.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ericsson (Bengaluru) in Oct 2012
Interview
Applied through College,Simple recruiting process,Basic questions on networking and telecommunications,They came to college and there were three rounds of interviews,1:1 basic technical,panel interview 3:1,1:1 hr interview,Extremely chilled out engineers for the interview and not very coding intensive,they basically test your knowledge on the concepts learnt in college and are very specific about the answers they receive else they try to coax the answer out of you.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ericsson (Helsinki, Südfinnland) in May 2012
Interview
Interview was pretty friendly and standard, focusing mostly on technical questions and knowledge of the research topic they are lately working on.
Three people in the room, face to face, your direct manager, the technical person in charge of that research team and the recruiter.
I didn't do any exam, however, my position was not related to coding only research.
