It was comprehensive but had more detailed questions about spring calculation systems. They asked me geometric dimensioning and tolerancing questions, and also technical drawing exercise questions. There were two parts to the technical interview. They gave me a management case study and asked me about it.

I had four interviews in total. First up was a phone chat with HR. After that, I had another phone interview, this time with the plant manager. Then, I came to the site for a plant tour and a second chat with HR. The last interview was a phone call with the quality department. Everyone was really chill and friendly. Just a heads-up, you gotta be able to pass a hair test.
