I went through a phone interview for a QE job, it was about an hour and seemed to go well. They mentioned I'd be called in for a formal interview after, but they never did. I'm okay with it though, because I wasn't happy in my last role and would have taken an offer. I've seen reviews saying they can't keep people there long, so I figure they're going downhill fast, which is interesting to track.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation

After sending in my resume and a quick cover letter, I heard back the next day to do a video interview. They asked me some questions, one of which was surprisingly about other uses for a brick besides building. About two days later, I got a call from a manager. This call was about 20 minutes, and by the end, I was invited for an in-person interview the following week. The in-person interview was intense. I was there for three hours and met a bunch of people from the office. To wrap it up, I had to do a SolidWorks test. The task was open-ended: identify something you'd like to improve, list the pros and cons in a Word doc, and then use SolidWorks to showcase your design. They mentioned they'd save my Word doc and SolidWorks file after I left, so saving frequently was key. I got an email a week later to come back for another interview. This time, I met the other half of the office in person. This interview also lasted about three hours and went really well; I got to chat with several employees again. Before I left, they offered me the job verbally. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, they couldn't hire another mechanical design engineer, so I never got a formal offer.

  • What are alternative uses for a brick, besides its standard use in building construction?
  • Think of something you wish could be improved, outline the advantages and disadvantages in a Word document, and then use SolidWorks to illustrate your design idea.

Applied through Indeed and got contacted the next day. The first phone screen went okay, though the manager was a bit late. Got a call the same day to set up the main interview for the following Monday. It was a three-hour ordeal with six people, including the manager. It was in a small conference room, which wasn't ideal – a bigger room for a panel would have been better because I had to answer the same questions multiple times. The vibe in the facility felt negative due to the questions and how confrontational they were. They asked a lot about whether I could refuse requests.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • The group you would be working with is contentious and competitive.

I interviewed for the Supply Chain Manager position in mid January of this year. About ten minutes into the interview, I realized that there was some type of oddness. The people that interviewed me seemed like they had something to hide, really couldn't put a finger on it.
