First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Flowserve.
Applications Engineer
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.
- Technical questions about the density of air and cavitation were asked.
- They asked about my internship and college projects.
Engineer
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.
- Can you tell me about your qualifications and work experience?
- What are your general qualifications and experience?
Quality Technician
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.
- What are your long-term career goals?
Production Supervisor
It was an interview based on knowledge and soft skills. They asked about managing unionized personnel, with red and green unions. Also knowledge of machinery and handling mechanical plans. Second interview with the area manager, about values and leadership contribution. Impact of the functions and responsibilities of the area (profile). Third interview with the general director, about values, soft skills (English) and expectations for Flowserve.
