      Manufacturing Engineer Interview

      1 Aug 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Greenville, SC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ZF Group (Greenville, SC)

      Interview

      Was recruited when my resume was posted on Monster. Interview over the phone was about 40 minutes with some pretty high level questions relating to situations, project management, and what kind of things draw you to the position. Recruiter required a PI test which was just words self described and by others. Flew me down for a in person interview and would rate that experience at a 8 out of 10. Was very technically oriented and a little over my head in some areas which I explained how much knowledge and to what extent my experience was with certain things. Asking for training and what opportunities in such areas may have been beneficial as my prior job offered little, as I do want to extend my knowledge base. Two days later I heard back that they wanted me to join the team. Overall the interviewing process was very quick but they are looking for energetic, go get it, and follow the rules type mentality.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Very little was unexpected. Most was technical in nature. Research what questions may be asked at interviews and why. Prepare yourself with your technical background. I was actually caught out by a previous interview on describe yourself in 5 words and how others would in 5 words.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ZF Group (Marysville, MI) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      Ok this job application process was about 3 months long and here’s how it went, first I had the initial screening call, after having it, I thought it went well but I ended up getting a rejection 2 weeks later, because of that I just thought nothing of it, 5 weeks from that rejection though, I’ve gotten a call again on the same job and that the hiring manager actually liked my resume and felt my projects were relevant so he wanted the recruiter to set up an interviewer, although a bit outta nowhere I decided to give it a shot and go for it. On the first interview, the manager of the team was very unprofessional and didn’t even have his camera on, this was one where the recruiter was also in the meeting as well and the questions were pretty standard behavioral ones and also questions on my projects. Although it was unprofessional in my opinion, they did contact me next week for another interview, this time in person and at their plant, after setting up initial date, the manager said he’d like to reschedule so I complied and this new time was set up, when we had our in person interview, although it went well in my opinion cause it was essentially the same questions as the one from the teams interview, his team was also there as well alongside an HR personnel. The team was slightly unprofessional with one person not looking like he wanted to be there and also didn’t even ask me a single question, but I figured they were all just called up last second. Although I thought it went well, I was sent a rejection email soon after, the ironic part tho was that it was automated message that was the exact same as the first one. Considering throughout the entire interview process, I checked up on their job board and saw them repost the same job over and over again, I lowkey wondered why I even bothered to drive in person, especially since the morning of my interview, I saw three postings for the same job yet again. Tbh I really wondered what it was about my qualifications that didn’t work out since it was an entry role that not only I fit the description for, I even had pretty much exact qualifications for the preferred section as well. I reached out to both the recruiter and manager if I could atleast get feedback but they didn’t bother responding, but funny part yet again is that the job was reposted again the morning I got my rejection.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ZF Group in Dec 2022

      Interview

      Interviewed for a job at the AZ location. I believe they’re trying to pay way under industry standard as I have over 3 years of experience and a master’s degree in engineering and asked for reasonable pay and did not get an interview after the phone screening. I see them reposting the same job over a month later. Don’t waste your time applying unless you want way less than industry standard.

      Are you willing to commute to east Mesa?
