Standard interview process with a phone screen with HR, then with the hiring manager and then a followup interview with team members. In the end I was offered a very uncompetitive salary for a different role than I applied for. The recruiter kept up the pressure until I just blocked the calls

Behavioral Presentation Other
I initially had a phone screen for a design engineer role. After not hearing back for a few weeks, I followed up. It was then decided I'd be a better fit for a senior engineer position. I was then called in for an in-person interview for this new senior engineer role. The email had two addresses, and I luckily picked the right one. The interview happened during lunch, with a panel of 5 people. Most seemed confused why I was referred for the senior role, and it was clear I wasn't a good fit within the first minute. The whole process took months from the phone screen to the in-person, and felt disorganized. I think the HR person on the phone screen could have done a better job matching candidates to roles. Because of this experience and the communication, I won't be applying to Oshkosh Defense again.
