Senior Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Costa Mesa, California
Process
The preliminary telephone interview screen with the recruiter was as expected and went well. The next day, I was informed that the hiring manager wanted to schedule a Zoom interview. This interview was scheduled for the following week. However, 20 minutes before the scheduled Zoom interview, the recruiter called to cancel, stating it would be rescheduled.
I have been ghosted ever since. Six weeks later, the recruiter still won't respond to any email inquiries.

People are overwhelmingly positive. The work is interesting. It seems like there's always something new happening. You largely get to define your role, as managers are very hands-off. The food is great and free.Cons: It's a lot and pressure is high, so there can be conflict due to that. We're moving fast and processes are not well defined.
