Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience

April 9, 2024

Process

I applied online. The process took one week.

  • First round: A screening call from HR. It was pretty standard, although I admired the HR's active communication and respect towards the interviewer.
  • Next round: A technical interview with an engineer. There was a total lack of respect. The interviewer hadn't read my resume well, assumed certain incorrect things about me, and lacked values and respect. They ended the interview abruptly without giving me the chance to ask questions.

This experience left a bad taste about the company, even though their work and mission sound so impactful. It seems like they want people who are experienced and highly specialized to do one kind of work repeatedly for entry-level pay. The culture seems as rotten and disrespectful as the other EV company from which they stemmed.
