I recently had an interview at a Audi AG Ingolstadt, and it was a frustrating experience from start to finish. The interview was conducted by two Indian gentlemen who were clearly not team leads, and there was no HR representative present. They were in a conference room, but their voices were so quiet that I had to repeatedly ask them to repeat their questions because the microphones were too far away. The interview lasted 50 minutes, but they didn't bother to properly introduce themselves or their teams; they just mentioned their names, roles, and how long they'd worked for Audi. They seemed utterly clueless about what to ask, the purpose of their questions, or how to follow up. For about 40 minutes, they asked me random, uncorrelated questions about the machine learning projects on my CV, all of which were theoretical and focused on concepts and architectures. Each new question made it more obvious that they had no idea what they were talking about. After going through three entire ML projects written in Python, they asked me in the final 10 minutes "how I would rate my programming skills", then threw in one OOP and one immutability question, further showing their lack of direction. To top it off, the position was to be filled exactly three weeks after the interview, which is ridiculous given that the average termination period is four weeks. It felt like someone forgot to conduct proper interviews for this position and just grabbed whoever was available in the team. This experience proves that no matter how big a company is, unprofessional interviews can still happen. This isn't to discourage anyone from applying to Audi, as most will likely have a more positive experience, but it's a stark reminder that unprofessionalism can occur anywhere.
