College Hires Need to Be Careful
College Hires Need to Be Careful
Great work-life balance, unless your project is hitting crunch. Then you are expected to work nights and weekends.
Benefits are pretty good.
- Nice 401K
- Vacation
- Sick days
There is no official work-from-home policy, so that depends on your manager. If they are cool with it, it is very flexible to work from home a day or two a month.
As a college hire, you are placed anywhere. I agreed to be a software developer. I was put into QA where their automation is very new. There are not many senior developers leading it, so it is easy to get lost and left behind. Not all projects can be automated or may have little automation. This causes you to do mostly manual testing. This is not what I agreed to do.
Tell new hires what they will be doing when you hire them.

First was an HR screening, and then a technical screening/interview. If I pass this one, then there will be more rounds, maybe around 3-4 look interviews, but I'm not sure.

I just got the screen call. All questions were kind of standard. There were some technical questions asked. The recruiter just took notes. I didn't end up with an offer, but the whole communication was going pretty well.
Manufacturing Engineer Co-Op
It is all behavioral questions. The one who interviewed me was an engineer, so they understood a lot of the references that I brought up. Overall, the interview was very laid back.
