So far only online team interviews with various team members. All seem to be nice but the interviews are a little unstructured, a pro or con depending on you. All rounds seem to ask the same questions and have yet to give back any major details about the role. They have been scheduled in a timely manor however.

I had a 12-minute phone interview where they gave a brief intro to the company and asked about ten to twelve questions. I'm waiting for their decision, and I got another call asking about my experience and general questions. The next interview will be with 4 other people, likely management.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied online and then was invited by HR to come in for an interview. I thought it was odd that they skipped the phone interview process, but apparently the company is in dire need to hire engineers. Their office in Chicago is closing, and few people wanted to make the move to the Boston area. My meetings with the HR rep and direct manager went well, and I was told that I could also be considered for two positions in Applications Engineering and two positions in Mechanical Engineering. When I met with the department manager (who had apparently been there for less than a month), he immediately started pushing for me to consider a Technical Support role. He asked me if I liked to problem solve, and that tech support solves ALL problems. He asked me if I was smart, and if I was just saying yes because we were in an interview. He also said that I seemed to be "born with customer service qualities" and would be a great fit for technical support. And that the engineers "chew people up". He then took me back to HR in order to schedule another interview with the Technical Support Manager the following week. I emailed HR to reiterate my interest in engineering roles (and not tech support). Haven't heard back since. The interview was insulting (vaguely sexist) and a huge waste of time.
