Sierra Nevada Corporation Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

It kicked off with a 30-minute HR call, where the flexibility they mentioned didn't quite match up with what the hiring manager later proposed. Then came a 1-hour phone interview. After that, they flew me out for a 1-hour interview at their facility, though there was no campus tour and the conference room was in the lobby, so you couldn't really get a feel for the place. The questions were pretty straightforward for someone with experience in hiring and leadership.

Started with a phone screen with the recruiter. Then had a group phone interview with the hiring manager, team members, and the team lead. After that, there was an in-person group interview on site. The HR person talked to me for about half an hour. A group of 4 team members then spent an hour discussing the position and asking me questions. The questions were about my leadership experience, my definition of leadership, defining the job, and my experience.

The interview process was pretty standard. I was expecting three interviewers, but only one showed up even after we rescheduled. This interviewer also didn't seem very engaged or interested. Despite that, I felt the interview went well and I had a good shot at an offer. However, it seems they are very selective and perhaps too unwilling to train candidates on their specific software, which is a shame if you're not a perfect match from the start.
