Good Pay, Draining Shifts
Good Pay, Draining Shifts
The plus side was the rotating schedules, with 3 days on, 4 days off, and vice versa. The pay was fairly good for the job title. My night shift supervisor was actually a very cool and laid-back guy. As long as you got work done in a professional manner, he wouldn't really complain about anything.
The worst part of the job was that there were some tasks that I didn't think I would be participating in. Every day was the same, and the 12-hour shifts were draining. There seemed to be no room or opportunities to advance your career. Also, from what I saw/heard, the day shift was more strict on certain things, which would make the experience even worse.
I understand it is already a big company and there are tons of employees, but my only advice to management would be to take more interest in their employees.

Quality Inspector
The group interview was with a smaller group and felt easy, with typical questions. It was not a very long interview and was relaxed, depending on the interviewer since there were multiple groups going on. Again, it was an easy interview.
Test Engineer
The interview process involved multiple rounds and took a few months. I guess that was due to the job market. There was also a presentation at the end, followed by one-on-one interviews with everyone involved.
Senior Software Engineer
Hard questions were difficult to handle in a short time, so they would not reflect real-world work performance. The position is a junior level, but the expectation is senior level. However, the overall process was very good.
