Process
Pretty much a whole day thing. They fly you out the day prior, then interviews the next day.
Interview started at 11 AM and was approximately 90 minutes.
Intimidating at first, since it is a 3-on-1 interview process, but the guys are friendly and cool.
After the interview, they discuss and let you know pretty much right away. You will know if you get the job within 10 minutes after the interview.
Process is set up in 10 questions:
- First 5 are technical
- The other 5 are behavioral
Answer the question with: situation, how you went about it, and results. Focus all your answers on how you went about it, and you'll be fine. That's all they care about.
Questions
Something goes wrong. How do you fix it?

- 3.0Probably one of the better US auto industry companies, but the auto industry isn't for everyoneManufacturing Engineer • Current EmployeeDearborn, Michigan, United StatesMay 13, 2014Pros: Good name recognition. If in the right place at the right time, some opportunities to develop and move around. Good benefits. Pay can be good.Cons: Work/life balance can be terrible. Career development and training [are] not good. Performance review process is bad. It is largely a disincentive to putting extra effort in, even if you are often at the top. I have worked for Fortune 500 companies; their HR policies and programs are often not good. Auto industry is cyclical, so expect significant cutbacks in the lean times. Can be very hard to move around (though against company policy, you can be blocked, even for promotions; HR doesn't help).
