They reached out for an interview, I waited almost 10 mins for a senior manager to join and he didn't so the interview continued, they pretty much just read off their job description asking me if I had experience in this and that - said HR would be in touch, HR never did get in touch even to send a rejection.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank (Mumbai) in Apr 2025

It was okay, to say the least. There was an Excel test followed by the interview. The interview took 15-20 mins. The Excel test was 10 mins or so.
The office was amazing, and the coffee was amazing. In conclusion, it's a good place to work

Question 1
A scenario where I was leading a team or a group of people.
Nachdem ich mich auf eine Stelle als Business Analyst beworben hatte, erhielt ich eine Einladung zum Vorstellungsgespräch per E-Mail. Die Nachricht war kurz und enthielt außer der Uhrzeit und dem Link für das Online-Meeting keine weiteren Informationen zum Ablauf des Gesprächs.
Das erste Interview fand nicht mit einem Recruiter statt, sondern mit zwei Teammitgliedern. Es hat mich gestört, dass in der Einladung nicht erwähnt wurde, dass es sich um ein technisches Interview handelte und nicht um ein Gespräch mit einem Recruiter. Die Interviewer erklärten die Position und die täglichen Aufgaben jedoch sehr gut. Das Gespräch verlief angenehm, und sie stellten relevante Fragen zu meiner Erfahrung und meinen Fähigkeiten. Überraschend war, dass keine typischen HR-Fragen gestellt wurden.
Insgesamt gab mir das Interview einen guten Einblick in die Rolle, aber ich hätte mir mehr Transparenz in der Einladung gewünscht.
