Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Precision Castparts.
Manufacturing Engineer
The interview process had two rounds. I spoke with the hiring manager, my potential direct manager, and the unit manager via Teams. It wasn't too intense, they just wanted to see if I'd fit with the company culture and their needs. It felt very conversational and lasted about 30 minutes.
- Tell me about your greatest project accomplishment in your previous role.
Process Development Engineer
Had a quick chat with a recruiter over the phone. They mentioned they'd pass my resume along to the hiring manager and get back to me either way. Still waiting to hear back, and it's been over 5 weeks now.
- Could you describe your responsibilities in your previous position?
- Tell me about your experience with bluh.
- What are your salary expectations?
Process Engineer
There wasn't really a formal welcome process, everyone seemed super busy trying to get me hired quickly. We did a super fast plant tour and I got to ask my questions as we walked. Then, I was taken to a conference room to meet the Engineering team, who were senior engineers. They asked me a mix of interesting and tough questions, but nothing strictly technical where they expected a specific answer. Mostly, they wanted to hear about my past experiences. They also asked about my willingness to get hands-on with casting and how I'd approach learning the ropes.
- I'm concerned about your experience, you have a lot of research experience but limited industry experience. In the real world, unlike in projects, deadlines change constantly and you have to multitask and juggle different projects. For example, one manager will ask you to do something, another will tell you otherwise, you have to keep everyone happy and get the job done. How will you do this?
- Give an example where you had to meet multiple deadlines.
- What is your favorite alloy that you worked with?
