So, I had an initial chat with HR and the manufacturing lead. The HR person said she'd get back to me the next week, but then she was out of office the whole time. After calling them like 10 times and just getting voicemails, I finally found out 6 days later that I didn't get the job.

The hiring manager dominated the conversation, talking for 90% of the time and only posing a few questions. Her opening remark, 'HR was right, you do look young,' immediately raised concerns about potential age discrimination.

The manager started by asking about my background and career goals. Then, I met with a few team members who discussed their areas of expertise, some problem-solving opportunities, and project work. They also gave me a tour of the facility, which I liked.

It was a two-round phone interview process. The first call was with HR, and the second was with the hiring manager and some peer managers. Both calls were 30 minutes long and focused on personality and background questions. The process was very straightforward and low-stress. I got a good sense of the role and what they were looking for.
