Negotiation Details – They are very open to negotiating in certain positions.

Interview Details – I was approached at a college career fair about a possible career opportunity. I had a on-campus interview with one of the HR representatives from the site. This person was very knowledgable about the facility and the job for which I was applying.

After the campus interview I was asked to come on site for a full day interview with staff and other engineers. This consisted of 3 interviews, 2 with 2 individuals and 1 with 1 individual. They split the interviewers up pretty well between all operations in the plant. I believe this gave them better insight as to how you would interact with each department. I was then given the opportunity to give a 20 minute presentation on myself to all of staff. After this I was asked multiple different questions.

All in all it was a very good experience. I felt comfortable the entire time.

Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate as it was my first job out of college.

Interview Details – Signed up for the SWE Conference, submitted my resume online, received a call from HR before the conference to schedule an interview. The interview consisted of 3 behavioral questions, relatively easy, and the interviewer helped to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. 3-4 weeks later I was contacted for final round interviews. They flew you out to their headquarters and put you up in a nice hotel for the night (Wednesday) where we had a networking dinner with about 20 potential interns and 10 current employees. The next day (Thursday) was interviews: 2, 45-minute 1:1 interviews, 1 with HR and 1 with engineering manager/exec. board member. After your interviews you had to give a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation on why the company should hire you. The audience consisted of 1 HR, 1 engineering manager, and a member of the executive board. They grilled you with questions. We had a wrap up meeting and they shuttled us back to the airport for our flight home.

Negotiation Details – None.

Interview Details – Applied through their online jobs portal. Received a phone interview asking standard behavioral questions. The second round interview was near their headquarters in Cleveland, OH. At this interview it was more behavioral questions with nothing to tricky. The only out of the ordinary question was I was asked to conduct a break even analysis on the fly. Other than that no problem.

Interview Details – Hiring process was fairly easy. Two phone interviews and one face to face.

Interview Details – Spoke to recruiters at a SHPE conference, got an interview for the following day. 30-40 minute interview just typical behavioral questions, pretty straightforward. Got an offer the following week.

Negotiation Details – I was given an offer and had 2 weeks to make a decision. I felt it wasn't enough time so I asked for an extension and was given an additional week. The best advice is to make sure what the position is you're offered.

Interview Details – I have had tow interviews with the company so far and would overall rate it a positive experience. I do think the process is way more involved than it should be and way too long but it seems, from my experience, most of the larger companies tend to take this approach. There is an initial screening call (5 min), then a phone interview (30 min or so), then on the interview day I had to give a 10 min presentation and was interviewed by 7 people, 3 groups of 2 and 1 one on one interview (5-6 hrs depending on lunch). The process is very exhausting especially considering both positions I applied for were entry level. I did not receive an offer for either regardless of my having a MSME and a lot more experience (4+ yrs intership, research and administrative, 7+ years working) than most recent college grads. All of the Eaton work force I met were really nice accept for one guy and most were personable.

Interview Details – I had an on campus interview with one employee. It was the typical behavioral interview. I received a second round invitation in Cleveland, OH. The first night was a meet & greet. You should really talk to everyone there because they all engage in the decision process. The next day consisted of two 2:1 interviews. Once again it was majority behavioral. Just have a lot of examples relating to leadership in past jobs.
