The first interview was pretty chill, like just chatting with someone who really likes aerospace. They gave me the lowdown on the job and the company, and then we mostly talked about my resume and what I'm hoping to get from the position. The second interview felt more like a proper interview, with questions that seemed a bit more prepared than just a casual chat, which is what I'd expect. It was still pretty relaxed and a good overall experience.

It's the standard process for this industry. Round 1 is the Recruiter Call. Round 2 is the Hiring Manager Call. Round 3 is an onsite which includes a Panel presentation and then individual 1 on 1s. I personally had two different experiences. First time I came for an onsite it was bad. 2nd time I went for an onsite I thought I crushed it.
