Manufacturing Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Set up an interview at my college's career fair for the next day. The interview itself was fairly straightforward and formal. There were several standard questions, and the interviewer would take notes on key points they were looking for as I answered; they used the CAR format. It wasn't until we got through all the standard questions and were going through formalities that we found out I wasn't eligible, since I wasn't a U.S. citizen and needed work sponsorship.

Flexible Balance, Stale Systems

Manufacturing Engineer • Current Employee

August 19, 2018

Pros: Great work-life balance when not involved in a program launch. The business is very cyclic, so you can forecast out the busier times. Competitive salary compared to similar companies. There is a good amount of work flexibility to take care of personal matters when they arise. For the most part, the work environment is positive and team-oriented.

Cons: At some point, you will need to travel. Depending on the program, location determines the length of time and frequency gone. Due to the company size, your ability for career advancement is very much pre-determined unless you have connections. Also, a lot of the core systems used are clunky and outdated.
