Life Fitness Interview Questions
& Process

I had an initial phone call with HR. They asked basic questions about my experience, and why I chose engineering, and my previous work experience and why I wanted to work in this role. They also asked about my work authorization. I got an email within a week saying I wasn't selected for the next round.

The interview process was pretty standard, but they really need to get their own process ironed out because it wasn't what they first told me. It started with a phone interview with HR. Then I had a virtual interview with the hiring manager, followed by another virtual one with the Supply Chain Manager who is located overseas. After that, I went in for an in-person interview that lasted three hours and included people from Purchasing, Product Development, and HR. They said that was the final step, but then later on, they told me I also had to talk to the VP of Procurement and a Director from HR.

After applying, I had to fill out an application with some technical questions. Then, I had a phone interview with a Software Engineer who asked me technical questions about the application and programming, with only a few behavioral ones. Next, I had another phone interview with a Sr. Software Engineer focusing more on hardware technical questions. The final part was an on-site interview. I met with a Sr. Engineer for mostly behavioral questions, followed by a group interview with 3 Software Engineers, one of whom I'd met before. They each had different specialties. It began with a case question, and then they each asked their own questions. I also met again with the person from the first interview.

So I was applying for this UI Designer job and the process was pretty straightforward. They really wanted to check out my design and prototyping abilities, so it was basically a skills/technical interview. I went in, got seated, and was given two tasks: one to design something from a wireframe, and another to create a concept UI based on a prompt. The prompt was to 'Make a UI for a school headmaster so that he can make arrangements for school periods, etc.'. They gave me a laptop and about 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete both. After I finished, the program lead reviewed my work and seemed happy. No other questions were asked then, they actually gave me the job offer! :) Then there was a short, friendly 5-minute chat with the HR manager. I already felt like I had the job by then. The next day, I had to go in to speak with the director. I don't really count this as a separate round since the director wasn't available the day before, otherwise, I would have done it then and finished the whole thing. So, I went in the next day for another 15-minute interview. The director asked me again to explain my concept for the wireframe design from the previous day. I did. He also asked some more questions about what I thought I could contribute to their current project if I joined. I was pretty confident I'd get the job, so I answered everything clearly. There were also a few more questions about the project they were working on and why I'm passionate about design... After about 15 minutes, they offered me the job.
