      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Jul 1, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Fremont, CA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Essai (Fremont, CA) in Dec 2011

      Interview

      The interview process was chaotic. Start of with an on-line video conferencing for screening. The on-line interview with the hiring manager was never on the topic of skills, qualifications, and work background. During the video conferencing I reserve the topics and try to discuss of the technical aspect of the company products, understanding of design and manufacturing standards, and such but the hiring manager seems to have minimal knowledge of the engineering standard himself. The second interview was at the facility. It was with number of engineers and HR which were also relatively straight forward. Engineering interviews were also vague and the interviewing engineers did not seem to be competent about his and her answers of some of the reverse questions I asked. In addition till the day I left the company the promise of high compensation, after 4+ years, did not even exists after many positive yearly review as HR has promised.
