      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      6 Feb 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Orlando, FL
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cummins (Orlando, FL) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      Wonderful treatment by everyone I came in contact with through the entirety of the process. I met with a recruiter at the HEENAC conference. About two days later I received a phone call to set up a behavioral interview. Once I passed that stage they set up another phone interview (this time technical). Each interview took about 45 minutes. Average difficulty.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      General behavioral questions (i.e. strengths, weaknesses, a time you failed, what motivates you, etc)
      Answer question

      Question 2

      They asked me simple technical questions to see how I managed them. (i.e. if you have two engines and one is running at full load all day and the other is ramping up and down but only working 4 hours a day which one will fail first?) They just want to see your reasoning and thought process imo
