The interview process was very prompt and thorough. Although I was not offered a position, I respected their decision.

The day was quite long. It began with a presentation, followed by lunch, and then five hours of one-on-one interviews.

During the one-on-one interviews, regular engineers would "pick your brain" until you were no longer confident in your knowledge. I felt this approach was hit or miss in terms of uncovering my technical expertise in areas I knew well. However, it was very effective at exposing what I didn't know.

They consistently probed until candidates were out of their depth, repeating this process.

Ultimately, it was a positive experience, and I enjoyed a great tour of the rocket factory.

For EE, you better know everything from the internals of an ADC to signal processing, to power conversion, and high-speed digital, or you're not going to make the cut.
