I applied online. I interviewed at Volvo Group (Greensboro, NC) in Jan 2017
Interview
Applied online. Received call for phone interview about a month later. Phone interview was pretty straightforward. Talked about the company and went through resume and asked a few situational questions. About 2 weeks later received a call for onsite interview. All travel was paid plus a per diem. I met with the hiring manager and 2 others from the purchasing team. We talked a lot about the company and the position, which was very informative. Hiring manager then asked technical questions that were somewhat difficult. Other interviewers asked basic interview questions that were fairly simple. Whole interview took about 2 hours. Received written offer 3 weeks later. Overall, Volvo was very professional and I enjoyed the experience very much.

Interview
I applied in November 2021, they first contacted me in January and we scheduled the interview. The first interview was average, questions were mostly about CV and some usual questions about my personality and personal preferences. Five weeks have passed without any feedback, so I decided to chase them and after several emails they scheduled second interview. The second interview was what I would describe as a scandal. The interviewer was some 5 minutes late and started the conversation with negativity. He was showing bad behaviour throughout the whole interview: constant eye contact avoidance, long pauses after I finish my reply, texting someone in background, bursting into laughter couple of times. Content of the interview was mostly personality related, with emphasis on my emotions and behaviour in different hypothetical situations. After the interview was done I knew that having that guy as a superior would be the worst thing ever. Overall impression is that the whole process was unnecessary slow and surprisingly negative.

Interview
I had a phone interview and then face-to-face with a group panel with multiple people from the department. Pretty straightforward process and standard interview questions. It is nice that the group panel included people that actually do the job.
