Pratt & Miller Engineering Interview Questions
& Process

I had a very easy and thorough interview process. I met with HR, the boss, and other team members so they could see if I'd be a good fit. They asked a good number of questions and made sure I was comfortable with the job.

The hiring process was super fast and efficient. I got to chat with two different teams to make sure I was a good fit for the specific role I was applying for. The HR folks I interacted with were really helpful throughout.

The whole process took almost 3 months. I talked to 4 different people (HR, Group lead, team lead, and a teammate) over 8 weeks. After that, I was told the next step was an onsite tour and a meet and greet. However, this never got scheduled even though I followed up a lot with HR and others I'd spoken to. About 5 weeks after my last chat, I got a generic denial email from someone I hadn't met before. Between the scheduling nightmares, not getting clear answers about the job, and talking to people who didn't even know why I was there, it was honestly the worst interview experience I've had. I'd tell others to avoid this place, seems like there are some behind-the-scenes issues.

I got referred by a recruiting company, and the first step was a phone interview. Honestly, the recruiting company gave me the wrong impression about the job, so I was surprised to pass the first interview because I wasn't prepared for the questions. The second interview was also by phone, but with someone else. The third interview was in person, and it included one-on-one meetings and some group questions. The interview questions were pretty much the same throughout the whole process. They mostly asked definition-based questions, like 'What is X?', so you really need to know your stuff textbook-style. About 90% of the questions were about C#, and it seems like some interviewers have experience with lower-level languages. They also gave me the standard Fibonacci coding challenge on a whiteboard. The other 10% were some easy JavaScript questions, which felt like a token effort since they didn't seem to have much JS experience or be looking for it. The whole process was pretty fast, and everyone was really nice.
