The whole process from the first call to getting the offer took about two months. I had to talk to 13 different people, and honestly, only two of them were actually mechanical engineers. They kind of make you feel like you're super lucky to even get an interview there. But don't get too excited about the offer when it comes, you'll probably be let down.
