I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KEMET
The interview process was pretty simple. I spoke with HR and then the hiring manager. After I passed these interviews, the next step was to present to a group of people on a topic of my choosing.
- The usual interview questions you'd expect, what do you excel in, what conflicts did you experience and how you dealt with it. What projects you worked on and etc. How you work with people.

Hay preferencias, no se a que se debe pero a algunas personas les hacen un examen en escrito y a otros solo les ofrecen su puesto y su sueldo, igual a unos se les exige y a otro no.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Fort Lauderdale, FL
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KEMET (Fort Lauderdale, FL) in Sep 2019
I had HR interview in July, then technical interview in August then onsite interview in September for which they flew me to Florida. Whole interview process went smooth, had good discussion with hiring manager and VP Sales. After which i was told that they will let me know of decision in 2 weeks. 2 week later Hiring manager said he liked my skills but wanted to be 100% sure that i am the right person for the job and hence he assigned a job-related task to apply Machine Learning on, so he can be sure that i am the right person. Anyways, I sent him a whole report describing how that can be done and that i dont have data, but i am looking forward to job offer from them. He responded 2 weeks later saying that "data is on website". After that hiring manager stopped responding to emails. HR kept saying that i am in consideration, they havent decided yet. 4 months have passed now. They want interview candidates to do the whole job task just to prove that they are good ? What is the guarantee that they will be hired after that ? That is just immature !!! I dont know how it is even legal to ask a candidate to do the whole task that itself is job description !!
- I was asked about my thesis, neural networks, electrical engineering concepts, motors, details about inductor and capacitor
