Staff Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Frisco, Texas
Process
I applied online, and the process took four weeks.
I applied online and got a response from TA about scheduling a phone screen with a recruiter. It was a pretty casual conversation about my experience and the company culture. I got two follow-on interviews with hiring managers for a couple of positions. The hiring managers were friendly and polite. Both interviews felt more like a professional conversation than an interview. They asked me to talk through my resume and then asked follow-up questions specific to the role. Ultimately, I wasn't selected to move forward, but overall it was a professional experience. Everyone I interfaced with seemed genuine and passionate about the company's mission.

Modern programming practices and cool feature development.Cons: Sometimes pushed pretty hard but this is how you grow!
- 5.0Growing and CaringSoftware Engineer 1 • Current EmployeeSan Diego, CAOctober 11, 2023Pros: This company is still growing rapidly and I believe the mission of the company and how it holds to its core beliefs is what is driving success. The work being done feels important for sure.Cons: Everyone is hustle and bustling and it's fairly easy to get isolated to just the small sector you're working on
- 5.0Hard problems, humble engineersStaff Engineer • Current EmployeeMay 12, 2026Pros: Challenging problems everyday, but with the support of humble, smart, and overall easy going teammates that are always eager to lend a helping hand. Culture can vary from team to team, as anywhere, but overall everyone I’ve worked with has been great. Hard work is rewarded and recognized.Cons: Not the best PTO policy and sometimes long hours are an unspoken expectation that everyone just accepts. Project management often over promises and the engineers are left to suffer as a result (is there any company where this isn’t true?). As the company continues to grow, the previous smaller company perks and individual attention are becoming increasingly less frequent.
