They flew me out to DC for a panel interview. I met other candidates and current employees to learn and connect. The questions were pretty basic, mostly about my past experience and projects, and general workplace stuff. No technical questions were asked.

I applied online and then got an email a couple months later about an onsite interview. I met with three interviewers who took turns asking questions. They asked about my background and education, plus some technical stuff. The interview was about 45 minutes to an hour, and after that we took a half-hour tour of the facility. I assume there will be a background check and then an offer if it goes well.

Technical Behavioral
I applied online. After the application had closed, I was chosen for a one-way computer interview where I had to answer two questions. A few weeks later, I got an email saying I was selected for a hiring event. I was interviewed by two interviewers from my preferred locations. Every candidate got the same questions to answer. (I'm still waiting on the offer so my “No” below is misleading as it was a required field.)
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you explain the role of an industrial engineer?
- Tell me about a project you have worked on.
