I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Eaton (Beachwood, OH) in Jun 2025
Interview
Phone screen with HR that was very administrative. Essentially asked the exact same questions as the application did, so kind of redundant. Next was a 30 min phone interview with the hiring manager (who was fantastic) and lastly a 2.5 hour panel interview with presentation. I thought the process was very long, took over 6 weeks just to get to the final interview. I really hit it off with the hiring manager, but a couple of the more senior level interviewers were late, not very friendly, and asked irrelevant questions. I never heard back so I didn't get the job, but I think it's very unprofessional and telling that Eaton doesn't even bother formally denying candidates who get to the final interview. I can understand ghosting early in the process, but I can't imagine there were more than a handful interviewing at the end. At least take 5 minutes to tell the candidates who spent hours preparing that they won't be getting hired. Kind of relieved I didn't get an offer though, as I ended up taking a better offer elsewhere.
