I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at FMC Technologies (Erie, PA) in Mar 2013
Interview
The interview was actually very easy compared to other technical engineering interviews. There weren't many technical questions asked about the company; however, they asked technical questions about projects I completed while in college. This made the interview easier since I was able to share my real experience. They also wanted to get to know me as a person so I felt valued.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at FMC Technologies
Interview
Met recruiters at university expo. They were great, and full of energy. Seemed to like me right away. I got an interview after applying online. Interview was on campus. Lasted about 30-45 minutes, with mostly behavioral questions. Had some engineering questions, nothing too technical. They mostly wanted to see how my thought process works.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FMC Technologies (Houston, TX) in Nov 2014
Interview
Straight forward questions. Mainly machine design and Mechanics of materials. The interviewer would explain a scenario and ask that you explain your concerns with the design and how it can be improved. Made me draw it out on the board and go over my thought process. It was easy since I had just gone through senior design and presentations were part of our grade.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FMC Technologies (Houston, TX) in Mar 2013
Interview
The whole process was very smooth and prompt. A friend of mine referred me and I applied. I received a phone call from HR two weeks later inviting me to come in for an onsite interview. FMC flew me in to Houston on a Friday afternoon and I had a group interview with three FMC employees. One of the interviewers was an Engineer, and the other two were Manufacturing Engineers. The interview lasted about an hour, after which FMC flew me back home the same day. It was about three weeks' time that I received an offer via email. It was a very positive experience.
