I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson in Oct 2024
Interview
My first contact was with a human resources person, who was very friendly and very accessible to answer my questions. Then I had 2 programming challenges on a platform, 1 hour to solve both exercises, and finally a final interview with the person I was going to work for. The last interview didn't go well, the person was more concerned about answering messages than doing the interview, I even suggested doing the interview at another time, then the interview was supposed to last 1 hour and lasted 25 minutes, because he had to get in another super urgent meeting, so I couldn't talk about the project or my professional experience and after a while I received an email saying that I wasn't selected.

The interview was not very technical. it asked about everything on the resume and it was just a conversation. He even asked whether I had a girlfriend and my hobbies and so on.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Budapest)
Interview
First, you have to do a bunch of online tests.
Multiple choice technical tests, coding test (if relevant), personality tests.
Then you either interview for the position you applied to, or you are thrown in a "pool interview" where multiple managers are interviewing you for multiple positions at the same time.
After the pool interview, I received an offer from one of the managers involved.

It was a while ago, but they asked the usual stuff, like what technologies I had worked with, what responsibilities I had at my current position, and what I was looking for in a job.
