I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MTS Systems (Eden Prairie, MN) in Feb 2014
Interview
Several interviews took place with different individuals. One person was the HR worker. The others were a couple of managers and an engineer from different areas of engineering. There was also a tour of the factory to see how some things were made in the machine shop and how the machines that the company made were assembled and tested.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MTS Systems in May 2009
Interview
They asked some questions about what recent mechanical device I have thought about and asked me to describe it. I think it was a helpful way to determine both the conceptual ability and verbalization ability of a person. They followed by asking various aspects of my educational experience and experiene outside of education.
