Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
There were supposed to be two technical interviews. My first two technical interviews went really well, and I was expecting to hear back about whether I had gotten the job. Two to three weeks later, I found out I had a third technical interview.
It took me a while to hear back, so I messaged my HR contact to find out the status of my application. She told me they were not moving forward with my application.
About a month later, I received an email from my HR contact saying they might have a position available for me. I let her know that I needed to know ASAP so I could rearrange my plans if necessary. I emailed them every week for about a month, asking them to let me know if they had a position open or not. They informed me the day after the deadline I gave them that I did not get the job. They strung me along for four months.
