I applied online. I interviewed at Mercedes-Benz.io (Porto, Oporto)
Interview
Recently, I went through an interview process with this company. Initially, I was invited for an interview, and after that, I was given a technical task. I completed the task to the best of my ability, and later they confirmed that they wanted to move forward with the next stage of the interview process.
However, after waiting for a few days, I was suddenly informed that the hiring process had been put on hold due to internal reasons and might reopen after the summer. I completely understand that internal situations can happen, but it was disappointing after investing a considerable amount of time and effort into the process.
What concerned me most was the lack of consideration for the candidate’s time. It gave me the impression that there may be some issues in the internal hiring process and communication. My advice to future candidates is to pay close attention during the process and manage expectations accordingly.

The first interview is a screening call on Teams, followed by a technical interview to assess skills, and finally a cultural interview to evaluate team fit and alignment with company values.

Interview
I went through a four-stage interview process with Mercedes-Benz.io for a Data Compliance Officer.
The interviews themselves were professional, and the people I spoke with were engaged and knowledgeable. However, the overall process felt excessively long and demanding given the final outcome.
After completing all four rounds, I was informed that the decision was made due to the presence of “very strong candidates.”. While competition is expected, it raises the question of why multiple candidates are taken through such an extensive process if the margin for decision is ultimately so narrow.
From a candidate perspective, investing significant time and energy into several interview stages—including preparation for each round—only to be rejected at the very end can be quite discouraging. A more streamlined process or clearer alignment earlier on could improve the experience.
