      Mechanical Engineer I Interview

      Apr 13, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Kennedy Space Center, FL
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jacobs (Kennedy Space Center, FL) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      I applied to the position the first week of March and received a call from HR 2 weeks later to set up a Skype interview the next week. I was asked to complete a pre screening online before the interview that just consisted of behavioral questions and to rate how I felt about some things. During the interview I spoke with 2 lead guys that were on the team I would be working with. They began with explaining the company and what they do. They were nice and made me feel comfortable, then proceeded to tell me they were going to ask me 10 specific questions to test my different qualities and knowledge. I wasn't asked any technical questions. After they asked their questions I was able to ask mine. After the interview I asked for a time frame and they said I would hear back next week. They concluded with telling me the answer to the last question, "why should we hire you", was to be written and submitted to HR within 24 hours. A week later I didn't hear anything and I called back after 2 weeks to ask for a status update. Later that afternoon I got the "rejection after interview" email.

      Rushed and not what you would expect from an interview. Overlooked from the jump and just not the best. Would have liked a genuine interview and actually given a fair shot
