I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DRÄXLMAIER Group
Interview
The first part of the discussion was clear, as the job responsibilities were well-aligned with my current experience.
Focus on irrelevant theory: The interview quickly shifted toward purely academic questions (e.g., the textbook definition of electrical current). Minutes were wasted on recalling definitions instead of evaluating practical experience.
Inaccurate claims and academic assumptions: The manager listed terms he claimed I should know because he held the same certification I do. However, after checking later, I confirmed those terms did not exist in the official documentation provided by the certification organizers for that year. The term mentioned was actually a technical catalog spec for specific market products; without direct experience with those products, it is impossible to draw correlations just by "guessing."
Dissonance between requirements and reality: Although they initially mentioned looking for people "willing to learn," the attitude was rigid and punitive regarding any memory gaps.
The interviewer’s approach felt more like a test of ego. If this is how they communicate with a candidate, I have serious reservations regarding the organizational culture and the relationship with subordinates. This unprofessional attitude turned a promising interview into an exhausting experience that I couldn't wait to end.
