A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, and we had a quick chat over the phone. After that, I had another phone call, this time with the hiring manager. The interview with the hiring manager was pretty long and mostly non-technical. Then, I went in for an on-site interview where I met with various directors, managers, engineers, and HR. I also got a tour of the facility during the on-site. It was a good overall experience.

- I was asked some questions about pump physics and heat transfer that took me by surprise, but they were reasonably challenging.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process involved two separate, half-day visits. I met with 5 or 6 managers each day for about 45 minutes per meeting. The scheduling and communication were very fast, so the whole thing was wrapped up in about 3 weeks. Everyone I met was really friendly and easy to chat with.
