Process

The process took 3 weeks.

I applied through the college handshake portal.

I was contacted by a recruiter and sent a Codility test. After clearing the online assessment, I had a phone interview with the hiring manager, where I was asked questions related to my work experience. The final round was with an engineer on the team.

Fun and interesting work, but aggravating at times

Mechanical Design Engineer • Current Employee

Reno, Nevada, United States

Pros: Interesting work, lots of hands-on experience, a great team, and direct managers.

Cons: Higher up management direction can conflict with on-the-ground priorities. The stock price fluctuates a ton, making stock grant value variable, and the pace of work can get crazy. It can be hard to catch a break. There's definitely a culture of "keep working more hours, and that's all that matters."
