Build Engineer Interview Experience - Hawthorne, California
Process
I applied online through LinkedIn.
I received an email from an interviewer to discuss my experience further, as detailed on my resume.
The interviewer was late and did not apologize. They also sounded unenthusiastic.
They asked me one question, which I explained in detail, and then asked if I had any questions for them.
After I learned I was not selected, I reached out to the interviewer for constructive feedback but never received a reply.

The only question asked was: What was a project that you were most proud of and why?
