Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online.

The process began with a 20–30-minute recruiter phone screen covering WHOOP, my experience, and the Mechanical Engineer I position. I then received a take-home technical assessment requiring a five-to-eight-slide analysis of a wearable product, including engineering decisions, prototyping, validation, future improvements, and technical uncertainties. Candidates who advanced would complete a two-to-three-hour interview loop.

Not bad, Not great

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: The product is pretty interesting and the pay isn't bad for the work involved.

Cons: Not a lot of diversity or career growth. To be honest, not much direction in where the product is headed Company tech stack is incredibly varied among different teams, and there are some folks that don't have the best attitude towards working in a team or with other developers. Managers could also use some guidance in actual product/project management The CEO and lots of team members love to use the f bomb during team calls (not in a derogatory way but still this is the workplace)
