Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California

May 1, 2014
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted through LinkedIn by a recruiter.

I had two phone interviews: one was general, and the other was more technical.

Following that, I traveled to CA for a full day of interviews.

During the day, I met with six different people and had one-on-one interviews with each of them. I also worked with four of them to solve a problem on a whiteboard.

The interview was very technical, covering fundamentals, applied techniques, and hands-on knowledge.

I did not receive a job offer after the interview, which I suspect was due to my lack of experience in mass production design.
