The first evening I attended a hiring event with a large number of other candidates. The other candidates were from a variety of backgrounds looking for a variety of jobs. During the hiring event we met with hiring managers and discussed what their expectations for their candidates were and we coordinated interviews for the next day. The recruiters were excellent, encouraging people with higher degrees to be open to adjacent fields of work than their focused studies.

The other candidates were energetic and friendly—something that was later reflected in the workforce when I accepted the position. I went through a few interviews with different groups, some were single interviewers, some were multiple interviewers. In all cases they were interested in my engineering experience and teamwork experience. The interviewers reflected my initial impression of the candidates and the recruiting team: energetic and friendly.

The standard questions asked were related to teams and conflicts. None of the questions were unexpected and there were not any technical questions asked.
