Process

Had a three-hour virtual interview with four hiring managers, 45 minutes each. Each hiring manager asked questions on different areas, like stress management, how I make design decisions, working with teams, and why I want to work for Applied, etc. It may be different for other interviews, as this was for a new grad hire position.

Questions

How do you manage stress?

Describe the steps you take to make a design decision.

Why do you want to work for Applied?

How would others describe you in a team setting?

What role did you play in the team?

When someone asks you a question and you don’t know the answer to it, how do you respond?

Tell me about one of your most difficult projects and tell me why it was difficult.
