Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter.

We talked on the phone, and the conversation was mostly about the job description. I was scheduled to have a phone interview with an engineering manager a few days later.

During the interview, the manager asked me about my background and posed several engineering questions related to the job. One question, in particular, involved a calculation that required a numerical answer.

If you recently graduated and this information is still fresh in your mind, this part might be easy.

I didn't pass the interview, but I asked for feedback from the manager. I received an honest and specific answer that was very valuable.

Overall, the entire hiring process was quick, and the team was very responsive. Everyone I spoke with was nice and respectful.
