Process
I had an on-site interview at their Louisville office. There were 6 interviews: 5 technical and 1 HR. All of them were 1:1.
People were all very nice and knowledgeable about their product and process.
As far as interview questions, everyone asked more or less the same behavioral questions. I should have prepared for these predictable questions.

A good stepping stone for entry-level positions
Mechanical Engineer • Current Employee
Erie, Pennsylvania, United States
July 7, 2013
Pros: - Thorough processes ranging from procurement, engineering, to production.
- Great stepping stone to the top tier of other companies.
- Occasional work from home.
- Expected to work overtime (no pay) based on others' mistakes.
- Erie's lower cost of living is attractive.
- Business casual attire.
Cons: Too many software systems act as obstacles to getting work done.
Working with the Union. Lack of motivation or interest to solve problems.
Feudal system for career advancement. Your boss would have to be promoted and recommend you for his position. From entry-level engineer to sub-section manager usually takes at least 10 years.
Company events cater to interns/co-ops to entice them to stay at Erie. However, Erie is not an exciting town for any entry levels. New employees require social events and clubs.
Compensation is OK. Health benefits are poor. 401k is OK.
Overseas contractors have more leeway when causing mistakes/problems due to their much lower compensation.
Winter is brutal.
