I applied online. I interviewed at DLR (Neustrelitz)
Interview
I had 2 interviews there for a PhD student more than 4 years ago. First interview was great, I presented my master's work and was asked many personal questions. Then I was invited to the 2nd interview, where 2 more interviewers (overall 4) asked very basic questions in things I didn't claim to be proficient in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions regarding master's work and basic math and programming questions (Linux, python and MATLAB). For example, what is a dictionary in python, or how to set a part of an array in MATLAB as Nan or when is a determinant invertible.
Three interviews in total: First with the group lead. Second with group lead + department lead, Third with group lead + department lead + institute lead. The first two were mostly questions about my knowledge and ambition, the last one involved giving a presentation on previous work.

Question 1
Casual questions related to the later job, more asking if I've done something like that before and less testing my knowledge.
