I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Emma (Frankfurt am Main) in Mar 2025
Interview
I applied for the position online. Shortly after, I received an email inviting me to a first-round interview with an HR representative. This initial conversation lasted about 30 minutes and focused on getting to know me, as well as providing an overview of the company and the role.
A few days later, I was scheduled for a second interview with the hiring manager. This round was more in-depth, covering my educational background, career goals, and discussing potential challenges I might face in the position. The manager also presented a few hypothetical scenarios related to the job to assess my problem-solving approach.
The final stage was an in-person interview at the company’s office. During this visit, I was given a tour of the workplace and introduced to the team. It was a great opportunity to see the environment and better understand where and how I would be working.
A couple of days after the final interview, I received a phone call with a job offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you had the problems: A, B and C how would you prioritize them, why and what would you do to solve them.
The first round of the interview lasted 3o minutes and primarily focused on very basic HR questions aimed at understanding my background, motivations, and overall fit for the role. The interviewer asked standard questions about my past experiences, strengths, and career aspirations, as well as my interest in the position. In addition to this, there were a few case-based questions designed to assess my problem-solving approach and how I would handle real-world scenarios related to the job. I was also asked about my understanding of the company, including its business model and market positioning, and my rationale for wanting to work there. Overall, the round was introductory in nature, combining general HR screening with a light evaluation of analytical thinking and alignment with the company’s values and role expectations.
The recruiter didn't know where I was applying and asked me out of pocket questions and when I said it's too difficult for me to answer, they kept insisting. Didn't feel like a respectful interview tbh, I left the recruitment process myself.
