Mechanical Engineer I Interview Experience - Gloucester, Massachusetts
Process
After a 30-minute phone interview, I was called in for a serial interview: first with HR, then with 4 engineers, each 30 minutes. Questions were general and friendly. Each interviewer asked a technical question, a simple physics problem on paper, asking, "How would you approach this?" Overall, it seemed to go well.
