Applied at university career fair. Was called in for an on-campus interview that consisted of a short, basic engineering quiz and two separate interviews one after another. Was asked mainly behavioral questions and to elaborate on what was on my resume.

The first interview was quite positive and I decided to take the chance to travel 500km to visit the fab and the environment after being accepted for the 2nd round (in Austria). I must admit I am grateful they proposed me to visit the company because otherwise I wouldn`t ever understood how things run there. First of all, the impression was that the manager I talked with during the 1st round never shared anything with the team I met there and so I found myself to repeat over and over who I was, my experience and education (because they asked). But the thing which really made me questioning the management was an exchange I had with a "manager" to whom I asked how you are evaluated and eventually promoted or not and the guy started to explain that, even though I had a PhD, there is a person there (without a PhD) who faced committee full of PhDs and could do better than people with PhD. Probably he had something against higher education? Another nice exchange I had with the hiring manager was about my CV where again I felt bullied while being apostrophized "smart guy" quietly chuckling. Afterwards, I did not hear anything from them for more than a month. Later on they rejected my candidature.
