Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process began with an initial HR phone screen, followed by two rounds of technical interviews conducted over the phone. Candidates were then flown on-site for a day-long technical panel interview and presentation.

The phone interviews were relatively simple, touching on basic first principles and discussing prior experience.

However, the on-site interview proved to be incredibly difficult, a challenge exacerbated by a surprisingly cold hiring team.

Ultimately, an HR representative informed me halfway through the day that my on-site interview was being cut short. This decision was attributed to the team's dissatisfaction with my performance in the on-site technical interviews and design challenges.
