3 interviews all over the phone/zoom. No major technical questions or group interviews. Fairly straightforward process from start to finish. Job listing did not match the role perfectly with some major differences between remote/in person work requirements
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at POWIN (USA) (New York, NY) in Apr 2021
Interview
They didn't ask any technical questions but your basic trying to figure out if you're a fit.
When they told me the current department size of zero, I asked how many engineers did they plan to bring on. One, the manager. And then there would be one or two engineers added later on but not in the immediate future. I told them their goals weren't realistic given the timeline and the number of people. One had to give. They didn't like that. It was, however, true.
I think the work would have been interesting but I already had two other offers. They never got back to.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at POWIN (USA) (Tualatin, OR) in Nov 2012
Interview
I was Interviewed by the VP, CTO, and Director of Engineering. They asked basic behavioral questions, experience history, and salary requirements. It was a brief, concise interview designed to assess technical capability, motivation, and work ethic. No curve ball unnecessary/irrelevant questions--come prepared with technical knowledge and rehearse basic interview questions and you will do well.
I was given a tour of the manufacturing facility and office space.
