      Engineering Interview

      Jun 25, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Form Energy (Berkeley, CA) in May 2024

      Interview

      The process was surprisingly very fast. It was your typical initial contact with the recruiter which went well, followed up by an initial screen with the hiring manager. That phone call went well, and he came across as understanding and empathetic since this was more of a lateral move than a direct "drop-in" if you will. Things did a 180 when it came down to the actual Google Meet interview with web cams in play. I find it interesting how the first corporate value listed on their website is "Humanity", yet they seem selective when it comes to actually practicing "Diversity, inclusion, empathy...". The questions asked were perfectly legal, however the tone was rather unsettling, if not outright accusatory at times. I was called onto the carpet for an unusual test method implemented by a previous employer. It was by no means unsafe or illegal, just not in compliance with accepted industry standards. Great, valid, just take it up with the manager, not the front line employee who was merely following instructions in good faith. Interviews are supposed to be a two way conversation. The candidate is interviewing the team and hiring manager as well. Yet, it seemed like more examining my cut sheet and quality of my dentistry before making a consideration. There was only a compulsory 5 minute period in which I was allowed to ask questions of the panelist. I even got a comment from the hiring manager of "I feel like I'm the one being interviewed." Well, duh, that's what interviews are supposed to be in the 21st century. 4/5 stars on Glassdoor, with 15 self identifying as white. The interview panel also reflected this. Where's your diversity and inclusion now? It's refreshing to see a 21st century take on the "'good 'ol boy network".
