I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BMW Group (München, Bavaria) in Dec 2019
Interview
First the recruiter talked loosely about the job and the qualifications they were looking for. Then I was asked to expand on my background and how it relates to the job ad. Subsequently a telefon exam took place in several topics: 1) Questions ranging from sensors and their input/output to data structures, 2)How to handle specific self-driving scenarios like localization of the vehicle, and finally 3) carry out a programming exercise and also modify it to reduce its complexity. It took altogether 70-80min.
