Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
A call with the recruiter followed by an hour-long chat with the VP of the department. The biggest annoyance was the delays in communications; after the first email with the recruiter, it took a week to get on a call. After that, it took about 10 days to set up a time with the VP.
After that, I was completely ghosted. Even after reaching out to the recruiter multiple times, I was left ignored. It is disappointing and a little rude to take my time and effort, and not even give me a follow-up of either a dismissal or a notification.
