Mechanical Engineer Starlink Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I applied through their website and heard back a week later for the HR phone screening. They didn't ask any HR questions. The interview started off with cantilevered beams, but they admitted they were not an engineer and just had some answers written down. They were also late to the call.
Questions
Asked me to go in depth about other jobs I was applying for and exactly what stage those other jobs were at. I had already answered that I did not need to move quickly.
