First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Nissan North America.
Senior Software Engineer
The interview process was pretty straightforward. I had a 1-hour meeting with a technical person and a manager. They asked me questions in the STAR format. The interviewers were really great and friendly. They asked me about my past experience in depth, critical issues I've tackled, and the overall flow of past projects. They also asked some behavioral questions about team management and handling conflicts.
- Can you share a challenging problem you faced and how you resolved it, using the STAR method?
Intern
The interview process had 2 stages. First, a third-party phone screen to check if my resume qualifications were a match. Second, a Zoom interview with the hiring managers. It was mostly discussing my resume, and they mentioned skills like Excel and Tableau could be useful.
- Could you explain why you included X, Y, and Z on your resume?
- Were there any difficulties you encountered while completing X, Y, and Z on your resume?
Supply Chain Analyst
Nissan contacted me to set up a phone screening via Calendly. The initial slots were full, so I emailed them about adding more, but got no response. Later, more slots appeared, and I managed to get one. During the screening, the interviewer seemed uninterested and cut me off during an answer. He also seemed unable to answer my questions about the internship. The interview ended early, and I felt like they had already decided on candidates and were just wasting my time. They ghosted me afterward. It was a terrible experience.
- Can you introduce yourself and explain your interest in Nissan?
Senior Planner
I was ghosted after a few interviews for a Senior Planner job. The last interview was 6 weeks ago, where I had to make a presentation based on a fictional prompt. I worked hard on it and got good feedback, and felt confident about getting an offer or at least another interview. I haven't heard back from Nissan since then, even after trying to reach out. It's a shame they don't respect the time and effort put into the assignment enough to respond.
- Can you complete this assignment and present your results to us in a PowerPoint?
