Presentation Behavioral

The recruiter contacted me to schedule a presentation about myself and my past projects. I provided my availability, but after a few weeks without hearing back, I followed up. The recruiter then asked for my availability again but never responded further. It was an unprofessional and frustrating experience.

Presentation Behavioral Technical

The interview process had two rounds. The first round was a presentation of a project I did for a panel, and then they asked a mix of behavioral and technical questions. The technical questions weren't impossible, but you could definitely mess them up. The second interview was a one-on-one phone call with someone from a specialized team to see if I would be a good fit.

Behavioral Technical

This was my first technical interview, and it felt much harder than others I've had. The interview was 1 hour and 30 minutes because I was interviewing for two positions, manufacturing and fluid. It began with me discussing an engineering project from the last two years and maybe one or two behavioral questions. Then, the engineer interviewer asked technical engineering questions, starting easy and getting harder, requiring critical thinking. Near the end, a university recruiter interviewer asked personality questions.
