Behavioral Technical
I first submitted my resume to Glassdoor and got an interview invite from PACCAR for a phone interview. The interviewer asked me general and technical questions about my interest in PACCAR and explained ongoing projects. After that, I was invited for an on-site interview at the PACCAR technical center in Washington two weeks later. The interview was 4.5 hours long. It started with a PACCAR recruiter, then I met with managers who asked behavioral questions before and after lunch. During lunch, I talked with peers and answered technical questions about my background, skills, and why I want to work for PACCAR. I really liked the interview process and how welcoming everyone was at PACCAR. I also got to share my story with common behavioral questions and talk about the good and bad of different machine learning algorithms. My resume also helped a lot during the interview.
