      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      6 Nov 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Longmont, CO
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Danfoss (Longmont, CO) in Sept 2020

      Interview

      The overall interview process was very straightforward. You get contacted by a HR rep first and they will ask you to answer a couple of questions through email. Then you will have a phone call with them and go through a preliminary screening interview. This will only take around 30 minutes. Next, you are scheduled a technical interview with one of the engineer managers. This is much more in-depth and took around an hour and half for me.
