      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Actalent in Aug 2025

      Interview

      Very poor experience. They tried to undersell me as a technician for incredibly low pay, even though I have an engineering degree with vast experience. If you are desparate as an recent grad to find a job, you can test your luck. Recruiters are incredibly hard to work with, and will push you to accept low offers. Don't waste your time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Very general questions about preferences to work.
