I applied through university. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Stuttgart Technology Center (Lausanne) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied at Sony as an Intern position for my master thesis. I received a request for an interview after 2 weeks. The interview was conducted by two researchers, who were calm and not stressing. They gave me all the information about Sony STC, so there is no need to anticipate question regarding the company.
All the questions were related to my semester projects or the field in general in which I wanted to work.
