Equipment Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
One video interview with a team member, one with his boss. Both had clearly not looked at my resume beforehand. They had me talk through my resume and asked questions about my experience. It seemed important to them that I understood the technical background/theory of projects I had worked on.
Both of them heavily emphasized that this job would involve overtime 2+ times a week, as well as some weekend and night shift work. They asked me a lot of questions about how I felt about this and how loyal I would be to the company.

- 3.0Hard work, good moneyEquipment Engineer • Current EmployeePhoenix, Arizona, United StatesNovember 12, 2025Pros: Good money. Cool, stimulating work. People can be cool. Management is trying to care; it’s just less of a priority than making money. Never felt any significant racial bias against me in my time there.Cons: Workers show large emotional ranges because, s***, it is actually just tough. Bigger on negative reinforcement than positive reinforcement. They are a company, and their goal is to make more and spend less money. This is very apparent. While you are there, you will assume a significant amount of responsibility.
