Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Milpitas, California
Process
I was recommended by a previous professor which basically means that the professor did the initial screening. After that it was an in person interview with my manager that was very casual (Khakis and a collared shirt, suit and tie not needed in my case).
The interview was pretty basic. This probably depends on your manager and group though.
