      Optical Engineer Interview

      9 Oct 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Burlington, ON
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at L-3 Wescam (Burlington, ON) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Lots of technical questions that were reasonably straight forward to answer. I was interviewed by Vincent and two other managers. I believe the two other managers were new to interviewing because they asked random questions about their own experience ("how do you do this particular thing in Matlab?" Even though I had already said I work with Python primarily). It sounded like they were uncomfortable discussing anything not directly related to their experience. All of this would have been fine if Vincent hadn't called my PhD "not real experience" and continued to insult items on my resume. I didn't wait to receive an offer, I told them I had gone with another offer the day after my interview.
