I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TRUMPF in Feb 2021
Interview
The interview began with an presentation about the company and basic compensation about a position. It also goes into the Trumpf's FSE six week training plan (four weeks in CT with two weeks at a customer's site). You find out what product line you will work on while you are in training. I went into the interview thinking I was going to service the Trubend models due to noticing the presenter was the Bend Supervisor when I got the link to the meeting. So, I studied the Trubend models. I was also unaware that others in the virtual room were there for interviews. I thought they were there to interview me also. I foolishly gave them a greeting and introduced myself. Everyone was in t-shirts to include the presenter.
The actual interview was fairly easy and laid back. Technical questions were very basic. In my head I thought "...is this serious?" I did goof up three questions due to them being so easy about basic circuits.
Personal questions were the run of the mill.

Question 1
Typical personal questions. Then technical was more focused.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TRUMPF (New York, NY)
Interview
I was initially contacted by Trumpf's talent acquisition specialist. After a phone interview with that person. I had another phone interview with the HR representative. HR sent me an assessment test to take. Some of the questions, in the assessment test, reminded me that I should have taken a home economics class in high school. The original job, that I had applied for was no longer listed, but I still continued with the hiring process.
Anyway, everything went well until I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was very condescending. I guess that it didn't help that I should have prepared more. The hiring manager tripped me up more than an uneven carpet inside a Fun House! After feeling extremely humiliated, I decided to tap out.
After the disastrous interview, I've decided to avoid any future contact with Trumpf, or with any manufacturers of CNC machines.
Round of 3 interview. One with, HR, other with the field service team and the last with the national director. Good process. They are polite and professional. They are located in Connecticut.
