I applied online. I interviewed at Commonwealth Fusion Systems
Interview
The phone call with the recruiter went well. The interview itself was a technical interview, which caught me off-guard. Interviewer was unimpressed that I didn't have various equations memorized. Things did not proceed past this interview.

Interview
Straight forward.
Phone interview: With the recruiter, phone call, standard questions. Hiring Manager: Discussion on teams, talk about resume and background. Panel interview: Begins with presentation then transitions into a discussion. A few hours long and multiple employees to interact with. Ask multiple questions from experience to engineering theory. Not too difficult, except for the need to remember a lot from school.

Successful pre screen interview with a recruiter. I had a follow up interview with an engineer, and was quizzed on specific formulas. The interviewer was unimpressed that I didn't have equations memorized, and did not pursue my application further.
