Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
It was a battery mechanical design engineer role. The process included:
- A screening call with the recruiter.
- Two 45-minute calls in consecutive weeks with mechanical design engineers.
The interviews were mostly technical questions focusing on mechanical design, such as stress-strain, fatigue, and material properties, along with battery topics.

Toxic environment to work

Pros: They have good daily food.
Cons: The job is not family-friendly. You should expect to work over twelve hours a day, every single day, plus some weekends. There is a huge bias toward some people who are the CEO's favorites. The CEO keeps giving promises to employees for stock buybacks and gives weird valuation speculations, but no employee has been able to gain a single penny from the stock. The plans change every day, and there is no job security. They suddenly decide to eliminate some positions without any notice. I wouldn’t recommend Figure to anyone.
