Brooks Automation Interview Questions

interview process was typical, but it sounds like the company is going through a lot of changes right now. The other I interviewed with could not even describe what a work day looked like. They also kept saying how they value work life balance, but the people I interviewed with were also telling me they were working over the weekend.

I was extraordinarily excited about this position and had spent the days prior researching the product lines and work culture and looking at the background of the employees. I wanted to join a large company that was diverse, engaged, and forward-thinking. Although we were in the same industry, I got the feeling that she didn't read my resume or know anything about me. Before she asked a single question, she spent five minutes talking about the company, the 200 other applicants, and her vast workload. I've worked on both coasts in marketing AND journalism, where there are at least 1,000 applicants for every salaried position. I've never been so turned off by a company so quickly. I would have left through a bathroom window before the salads arrived if it had been a date. I didn't bother with a "thank you" email; I just withdrew my application.

HR is often the first impression a candidate has of a company and I was left with a very negative reaction after speaking to your consultant. Not allowing a candidate to ask questions or being knowledgeable about the role is not acceptable. And alluding to the fact that the company might be sold made me immediately decide that this was not the place for me.

The interview began with a phone call for screening purposes. After that a video chat was had with 3 directors and head of HR to talk about education and interests. Lastly there was a facility tour and introduction to team members. Everyone was really friendly, and it felt like a company I could easily walk into and start the next day.

First the HR rep called and we went over the position and my resume. Two phone interviews with the engineers and the manager (Asking mostly technical questions). There was a coding challenge as well at the end of the first one.

1 interview with Recruiter, 1 with AE Director, and 1 with AE team members. Not too many technical questions, but it seemed like fit was very important. Ultimately, the position was filled in internally.

Received a technical, Creo, and regular interview all in one session. Each one was with a different person who asked very basic general questions about engineering and/or software based questions.

It was an extremely disorganized process to apply and interview. Didn't call back when expected, went through three interview days, slow to respond, wound up hiring internally. Chelmsford location in Mass.
