Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
Contacted by a recruiting agency who asked a few questions about my resume.
Followed by a phone interview with the R&D technical lead who asked some technical and behavioral questions.
Invited to an on-site interview which was highly and thoroughly technical.
After the on-site, did not hear back for several weeks and had to contact the recruiter to find out what was the result. Was informed that they passed on me but would keep me in mind for a potential future role.
Several months later they called and asked if I was still interested. I said I was and had another round of phone interviews followed by an offer which I accepted.

Jump Trading Work Experiences
- 5.0Breath of fresh airHardware Engineer • Current EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesFebruary 23, 2016Pros: Unlimited access to advanced technology toolsets. Flat organizational structure. Rewards and opportunities appear to be tightly aligned with a meritocratic philosophy (this is the 'breath of fresh air' for me). Highly intelligent peer group, with much fewer ego issues than I would have expected. Leadership is in the top 10% in my experience. 'No holds barred' approach to improving productivity. Very well organized support structure for a smaller company.Cons: Poised to grow past the critical 500 head-count trip point that challenges most small companies. Maintaining the very positive culture will be critical to success as many new hires are brought in.
