Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Sparks, Nevada

August 1, 2020
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Pretty standard interview process (during COVID; all online):

I applied, followed by a recruiter pre screen, a hiring manager pre screen, and a technical presentation, which resulted in no offer.

Technical presentation was a 20 min slideshow of 2-3 of your projects or activities. I chose 2 that I liked, but may have not been the best for the job looking back. After the presentation a panel interview was conducted. They asked very manufacturing design heavy questions. Of the 5 people on the panel. 2 left during the interview, 1 said nothing, and only 2 asked any questions. That was pretty telling I wasn’t going to get the offer to say the least.

Overall it was net positive experience. I just wasn’t the right fit for this job. I think they wanted someone with less design and more manufacturing experience.

Questions

Motor selection question (not motor design)

I cared about the manufacturing design thought process.

Ask how I convinced my teammates to go with my design in school.
