Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Very straightforward and very long. It was exhausting, but a good way to meet all the other current employers as they interviewed you.
After the third interviewer, I felt like I was just saying the same thing over and over again.
Some interviewers were much more interesting to talk to.
Others just stared at me, even once I was done with my response.
