Product Excellence Powertrain Engineering Technician Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
The first interview was the most difficult and stressful one I have ever been to. They threw everything they got at me. I feel like throwing up afterwards. I know I could have done better. Nonetheless, I passed... And now today I'm onto my second one with a senior engineer of quality processing, and this one is supposed to be more difficult than the first.
