Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I received an email from my manager asking me to provide the differences between EV and VTOL systems, to which I gave correct answers.

I was selected for the second round, which was with HR. The HR interview was good. The questions were typical, covering expected salary, relocation, overall experience, etc.

I was then selected for a second technical interview (the third overall round). The manager informed me that he would be screen-sharing to discuss my past projects, resume experience, and general technical questions.

I was surprised during the interview when nothing was asked about my previous experience or related to my resume. It seemed the interviewer was just passing time and only asked technical questions. Initially, these made sense, but later they did not.

To add to the experience, the Zoom screening/Wi-Fi connection from Lucid Motors' side was extremely poor. I always had to request them to repeat the questions.

Overall, I would say that I will never recommend such a "crap" place to work. The management is poor, and these individuals do not know how to conduct interviews. They also don't know how to respect a candidate's time and investment. Zero marks!
