Andrews-Cooper Mechanical Engineer interviews, decoded.

First, an HR screen, then a conversation with the hiring manager, followed by a take-home design assignment. Once the assignment is finished, you'll come in to present and discuss it with several managers.

It was a good process, not too long, with only two interviews. The second interview was a panel style where they asked relevant questions. There were no major surprises, and the interviewers made me feel comfortable. They did give me time to prepare for one of the sets of questions.

First I had to do a design assignment. Then four engineers interviewed me. They started by asking me to explain how I approached the design assignment. After that, they asked me to give a quick summary of my resume. Then they had me draw out the project that caught their eye on a whiteboard. This was followed by some more detailed engineering questions about my project.
