Quality Engineer Interview Experience - Hawthorne, California
Process
Phone Screen by Dept and HR.
Asked to do a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation on topics they chose, then had a 20-minute interview with two department managers.
The individuals were stone-faced; they never showed any personality.
The environment in the company is very sterile. If you like to sit in a cubicle all day for 10-12 hours, then this is the place for you.
Questions
They want extensive information on how you performed in your past jobs.
