The interview process involved a resume screening first, followed by an online technical interview with a senior manager. Then, there was a second online tech round with the department director. The final stage was a face-to-face interview covering both technical and HR aspects. The interview was considered moderate because, coming from a mechanical background, the questions focused on core mechanical subjects. As a fresher, I was asked about my internship and college projects.

Behavioral Technical

The recruiter contacted me, and we set up a phone interview. He forgot about it, and when I called him, he initially ignored me. We rescheduled, and during the interview, it was clear he hadn't read my CV. He asked if I had industrial experience (I have 6 years) and suggested I could only get entry-level roles due to a lack of relevant experience, which I disagree with. He offered me a low-level engineer salary. I also applied for other positions, and a different recruiter emailed me, but I never got a reply because my emails went to their junk folder. It's a very incompetent company.

Behavioral Technical

About a week after I applied, I got a call to set up a phone interview. It was mostly about my education and what experience I had for the job. A week after that, they called to set up an in-person interview. The in-person interview was pretty chill, professional though. They tested me on basic measuring tools and how to measure simple finished parts. We talked a lot for the 1.5 hours I was there. They also gave me a tour of the plant to show me how things work and how the job fits in.
