Had a quick video chat with the hiring manager. It was a good and straightforward experience. They asked typical questions about my background, what I expect from the role, and any projects I've worked on. I got a good sense of the job and the company. I was offered the position, probably because my intern project aligned well with my previous experience.

My first interview was pretty short. They actually got back to me way later than they said they would. So I drove down for a second interview, but then they just never contacted me. I followed up with them twice and each time they told me they'd let me know soon. I found out later, like a week before my second follow up, that I didn't get the job. And they never even told me.

The interview process involved questions about engineering processes, specifications, OSHA standards, and safety practices. They also inquired about my views on workplace politics. A manager asked if I would be willing to pursue certifications for professional development, to which I agreed. The final question focused on my leadership abilities and strategies for building effective teams within a manufacturing setting.

It was an all-day onsite interview. I had to complete a personality profile beforehand. They really emphasized that employment is a two-way street and they want you to interview them just as much as they interview you.
