Process
It's okay. Technical questions included some GD&T, materials, and solid mechanics questions. They weren't too hard; you'll have to recap things like stress-strain graphs.
They also went through the resume, asking about past experience and motivation.
Questions
GD&T concepts, not too hard.

Awesome Co-workers, Long Hours
Mechanical Engineer • Current Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
October 2, 2015
Pros: Amazing co-workers, awesome company goal, very cool product, and the experience of a lifetime.
The company has really been changing for the better in my opinion over the past couple of years and has started to really foster a culture of teamwork by bringing together groups that work closely together.
Cons: Can be long hours. Employees don't often feel appreciated, even after making significant product improvements. For a long time, employees were reaching four-year vesting goals and dropping like flies. I think that has been recognized by management now and is starting to change.
