J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Mainstream Engineering en janv. 2025
Entretien
Was flown out the night before, had one-on-one interviews with 45-min presentation in between. One with director of engineering as well as other managers.
Lunch with younger engineers who talk about their experience
Don't work here if you want to work in a place with any semblance of diversity. The lab spaces are subpar as well, and the management had a holier-than-thou attitude with little social aptitude, except for the recruiter. Weird vibes. Stay away.

Question 1

Entretien
Three interview sessions.
First a phone screening with recruiter, very simple.
Second is a technical interview with an engineer, wherein a couple fundamental questions are asked.
Last is an in-person interview, where they fly you out. The day starts with an initial one-on-one interview. After this, you give a 45(ish) -minute presentation plus questions. Next, you have two more one-on-one interviews, then go out to lunch with some younger engineers at the company. After lunch you go on a tour of the company grounds, and then you have two or three more one-on-ones. Each of the one-on-ones last 30-45 minutes each. Only a couple of the one-on-ones are very technical where they layout a problem and ask how you'd solve it. Overall, it was a great experience with a great company.
