Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Oceaneering International.
Mechanical Engineer
First, there was a phone screen interview, followed by a hiring manager phone call. Then, a team interview with 4-6 people happened. After that, we figured out the best position that fits, and then I got an offer. The whole process took 4 weeks from the first interview to the offer.
- Tell me about a time you experienced failure. What were your key takeaways, and how would you tackle a similar situation differently going forward?
Mechanical Engineering Intern
The interview process was great. First, there was a phone screen with the hiring manager. Then, a virtual interview followed with the hiring manager again, and they also had a panel of engineers join. They did a great job of making me feel comfortable and relaxed.
- Can you walk me through your resume experience?
- Would you mind answering some behavioral questions?
Mechanical Design Engineer
I got a call for an interview for the All India Interview Drive. The interview was in two parts: first a written test, then a technical interview. It was about 40 minutes long and had around 20-30 questions in total. The technical questions were related to the written test material. You should prepare topics like SOM, Material Science, Machine design, and DOM, with a preference for Sub-sea and Pressure vessel domain knowledge.
- Can you convert feet to meters?
- What's the difference between shear stress, tensile stress, and compressive stress?
- Can you explain nuts and bolts and pressure vessel concepts?
