I applied through university. I interviewed at Mercury Systems (Chelmsford, MA)
Interview
They received my resume from a career fair I attended. HR contacted me through email and set up a screening call and from there a phone interview with the hiring manager and then an on site interview which lasted about 4 hours. I met with five people and was asked mostly resume and experience questions and a couple technical questions, but was not asked to write code. Overall, it was an average interview but was a waste of time and could have been avoided. They should have made clear from the beginning what they were looking for in terms of qualifications.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Mercury Systems in Feb 2023
Interview
Applied online and received an email from a recruiter a month or two later asking for interview availability. Responded within the same day, but the recruiter failed to check their email, and emailed me a week later asking if I had received their email about requesting an interview time. Responded same day and scheduled an interview for a few days after. Recruiter explained the role and asked a few questions regarding experience, then went over the next steps if the department manager was interested in moving forward. The recruiter gave me his word he would keep me in the loop (if or if not my application was to move forward) within 2 business days, but never heard back from said point of contact.
