Evoqua Water Technologies Interview Questions
& Process

So the process started with a recruiter phone screening which went alright. She mentioned she'd pass my info to the hiring manager and follow up within a couple days regarding scheduling the next interview. It took two weeks to actually hear back and get that second round set up. This interview was pretty standard for the role, and I think I did okay. They said they'd be in touch in a few days about what's next. Again, another week and a half went by with no word. The hiring manager did eventually extend an offer, and then there was a sudden rush to get everything finalized quickly.

It was a 3-part process. First, a recruiter call to see if I was a good fit and interested. Then, a phone interview with the hiring manager that was very technical, focusing on electronics and controls to check my skills. Finally, an in-person interview with the hiring manager and the team. Some general questions were easy, but some specific technical ones were harder.

I was emailed to set up a phone screen with an engineer. We had a good ~30 minute chat about my skills and experiences, and I got invited for an in-person interview soon after. The interview happened a week or two later. It began with me meeting the engineer I'd talked to before and we talked about the job, the R&D department and its function, and its place in Evoqua's overall operations. This was really helpful for understanding their work, and he also pointed out parts of my resume to highlight. Then, I met with several engineers, three a bit older than me, and the last one was a senior process engineer since the product engineer job is partly a process engineer role. They asked me a bunch of questions about my personality, work ethic, goals (short and long term), work history, projects, and technical stuff, plus why I wanted the job. After that, I got a facility tour, answered more questions, and finished up with a debrief with the first engineer about logistics. The interview took about 3 hours 45 minutes, and the whole process took 2-3 weeks.

The process started with a 30-minute chatty phone call with a recruiter. After that, there were interviews with two hiring managers. I got through the first one, but not the second. The first interview was okay, but not super exciting. I heard back the same day that they were going with someone else. I figure it's because I wasn't what the hiring managers were looking for, even though I have a strong resume and don't get nervous in interviews - they're just conversations, I don't see why people get so stressed. The work sounded cool, but I didn't get the sense there were chances to move up.
