Schilling Robotics interview questions

Disclaimer: This was 7 years ago, but still remember it well. The initial hour-long phone interview with the chief engineer was great - just a couple of sanity-check generic technical questions followed by questions more tailored towards my 13-year EE resume. The full-day in-person interview, by contrast, was very cold and impersonal. I don't think anyone actually looked at my resume: There were written exams (with the type of questions you would expect in college exams but with minimal real-life practical value), lots of "describe a time when" questions where I couldn't think of a perfect example (like, do engineers really have that many interpersonal conflict experiences to talk about?), and mock problem solving where we act like we're inventing a billion-dollar product from scratch. (As fun as that would be, we all know that's not what the day-to-day EE job is like.) All told, in 7 total hours at the office, nobody asked me a single practical question about anything I worked on in my 13 years of prior experience.
