Process
I was recruited to become a vehicle mechanical engineer at the ATC in Pittsburgh. The homework assignment was to be fully professional and ready to create an optical part with FEA, documentation, BOM, etc.
I was flown to the area and had to front all the money for the plane, stay, and rental. The place seemed awesome, but they had a good cop/bad cop interview approach. They loved my response to the homework assignment. I even brought in a prototype part, but I was accused of having someone do the assignment for me, lol.
It took them a week to get back to me. Someone from the interview told me I did not get the job, not the recruiter or HR. They had a separate room with 10 people looking at all of my work on a projector; I never got to meet them, and it was a bit creepy.
