Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Foxconn.
Mechanical Engineer
The leader was nice. The questions weren't too difficult. They care more about attitude and learning spirit than experience. It was only 1 round. It's easier if you have a referral. Maybe English might be used if the Vietnamese leader is unavailable.
- Can you demonstrate basic programming skills in Python?
- Can you demonstrate basic programming skills in C++?
Mechanical Engineer
So the whole interview is basically three parts: first, a phone screen, then a project, and finally an on-site. The phone screen was pretty standard, just HR stuff and talking through my resume. Then there was this project where I had to design something, showing off what I know about engineering, design, and manufacturing. Knowing about DFX and manufacturing processes would have been super helpful. I ended up presenting that project during the on-site, which was about half a day, like 4-5 hours, and it was a presentation followed by more questions. They really dug deep with the questions.
- Can you explain how you'd justify a particular design?
- Describe your process for designing a plastic part and its corresponding mold.
- What methods would you use to differentiate between various materials?
Mechanical Engineer
I first connected with a recruiter at my school's career fair and gave them my resume. A few months later, an HR person called me for a phone screen, which was mostly behavioral questions. Then, I went to their City of Industry office for an in-person interview. It was a panel with the HR person, one senior engineer there, and another senior engineer remotely from Pennsylvania. I had to present a project I worked on and answer more behavioral questions. They also asked about what I was interested in and what roles I'd consider. The vibe was pretty chill.
- Suppose you and four others finished a project, and you were given two football game tickets for you and a teammate. How would you handle that situation?
- What are your areas of interest?
- What kind of positions would you be open to?
