I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GKN Aerospace in Nov 2023
Interview
Unfortunately never got to the interview process. Was asked for availability for initial interview, no response for weeks, then asked if I was available with 24 hours notice (I wasn't). Then offered the job to someone else.
I understand if someone else is further along offering the job, but don't string me along by offering an interview and not following up. It's unprofessional.

Interview
It was a great experience
A typical engineering interview process
(especially for software, mechanical, electrical, civil, or systems engineering roles) usually has several stages designed to assess technical ability, problem-solving,
communication, and team fit.
First, one call with a HR recruiter. Then, one video call with the manager of the team. Lastly, one technical interview with engineering peers, in the form of a video call. Quite fast and clear interviewing process.
