Infineon Technologies Development Engineer interview questions

Applied via company's website, then received an invitation for a telephone interview after ~2 weeks. The interview was with the department head and the group leader. The questions were mostly related to my resume/CV, but not very technical. Many questions were related to my personality and career goals. I was invited for an on-site interview 1 or 2 days after the phone call. The on-site interview took place at the Campeon in Neubiberg and lasted several hours. The day started with two sessions of 1,5 hours. Thereafter some of us had lunch together and after a tour of the office and labs, and a final chat over coffee, I was on done. The first 1,5 hour session was with the department head, the group leader and a representative from human resources. The process was relatively relaxed. Questions were mostly based on personality, e.g. how you handle conflict, challenges etc. It is always good to have examples from your past ready to support answers. I was also asked about my career goals and salary expectations in this session. The second 1,5 hour session was scheduled immediately afterwards (a short break was offered) and was with technical experts. It was more of a conversation, where I could get to know the demands of the job and they could ask about my technical skills. Strangely, no technical questions were asked to me, to test my knowledge of anything really. The interviewers at times seemed as if they ran out of questions to ask. The rest of the 'interview' was informal and is a nice possibility to get a feel for the people you would work with. Overall, the on-site interview was a very positive experience and they took lots of time to interview me. I was supposed to receive feedback on their decision after 3 weeks, which at the end was postponed another 2 weeks. Eventually, they opted for another candidate, which they informed me about by phone. Preceding the final decision, the feedback I received both verbally and in writing was overly positive, which should not be taken too seriously. Companies (not just Infineon) want to keep the applicants interested and positive to avoid them applying to too many other positions.
