A recruiter from Universal contacted me to set up a phone interview with a senior manager. I called them at the scheduled time. It wasn't very technical, mostly general interview questions. I thought I did well but I'm not sure why they didn't move forward with me. Since this was my first interview, I asked for feedback to help me improve for the future, but I never got any.

I got my resume in through a friend, who passed it to the HR rep for Engineering. They then gave it straight to the hiring manager. After that, there was one phone interview with the hiring manager, followed by a half-day onsite interview. I met with six people in total: the hiring manager, two functional managers, a fellow project manager, the director of quality, and the HR Rep. Most of the interviewers were pretty laid-back and didn't seem super prepared with questions or fully grasp my resume. However, the director of quality was the complete opposite – she was really intense and had a list of questions she fired at me very quickly.

The interview process was highly professional, with prompt responses from HR. I had one interview and developed a high regard for the company from the discussions. It seems like they assess candidates for cultural fit, values, and aspirations, aiming to share a long-term vision rather than just fill a role. This interaction gave me valuable insight, and I'm happy to have met a sincere employer. While I'm not worried about the results, it's great to have these shared values and humane experiences.
