Pay is great for those who excel.
Some very fun opportunities arise if you are in the right spot at the right time.
The culture has changed significantly over the past 5-7 years. The company was formerly focused on customers (externally) and improving our engineering (internally).
However, over the past 5 years or so the trend has been to focus on immediate, short-term dollars rather than long-term potential. This has had a very detrimental effect on employee morale, and the management/employee rift has never been greater.
Strive to be an engineering company once again, rather than a widget company focused on the immediate bottom dollar. Return to what made us profitable for nearly 100 years rather than the post-it note mindset we've moved to.
This was for an entry-level role. STAR format, 5 questions. I was asked about experience and difficult/pressure situations. Besides the 5 STAR questions, a couple of yes/no questions were asked, e.g., "Have you ever used tool X?"
It was challenging, but I felt confident with the experience and education that had prepared me for it. I did not get the offer, but it was good practice for the next interview.
A discussion with a manager showed me around the facility. The place is large, and the products are really impressive. This was a long time ago, so I'm not sure how relevant it is today.
