Candidate-reported interview process

It was a really nice interview experience, the people there were super helpful and kind. They even sorted out my travel to their plant, which was awesome to visit. The panel interview was a bit nerve-wracking but not too bad.

So after an initial screening interview, I then met with a panel of three people from the company, and after that I spoke with two of the engineers who I would have been working with. It was a pretty long morning but I enjoyed it.

It was a 6 hours interview on the second round. Factory tour, and met with all line managers. Haven't got any return back neither positive or negative for 2 years.
