      Senior Maufacturing Engineer Interview

      16 Nov 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Beltsville, MD
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Eaton (Beltsville, MD) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      Process took about a week. 1. Phone screen with HR. 2. Then a phone call with the hiring manager. 3. On site interview with HR, hiring manager and 3 other manager's, ended with a site tour. All interviews were very easy and straightforward, no difficult questions. They pretty much just wanted to know my background, why i was looking for another job and what i was looking for career wise. Employees in the interview seemed like they didn't want to be there but had to due to the hiring process. Generic machine shop environment and product lines, nothing to get excited over. The hiring manager was new to the position. He was lacking key knowledge he should have known. Gave basic answers to technical questions and just repeated company and industry buzzwords. Company claimed it was transitioning to Industry 4.0, but I did not heard one clear explanation on how they planned to achieve that. Obvious it was a mandate handed down from corporate without a clear understanding from anyone on what that actually means (fairly common for older, large companies). After leaving the facility i did not expect an offer, as it was apparent I had significantly more experience and knowledge than the hiring manager himself. I knew it, he knew it

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why are you looking for a new job? Where do you see your career going? Are you familiar with a Machine shop? What's one problem regarding bad communication you had to deal with and how did you handle it? Would you do anything different? How do you handle a disagreement in the workplace?
