      Engineer Interview

      Apr 24, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Vancouver, WA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kyocera (Vancouver, WA) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      Ad hoc, unpredictable process. They are looking for people who will toe the line to managements thinking. They are not interested in getting your opinion or new ideas. They expect you to learn the 'Kyocera Way'. They prefer fresh college graduates so that they will not have to get you to forget the methods and processes you may have learned at a more progressive organization. Indicate to them that you do not know anything and that you want to learn from them and you will have a strong in-road to the position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Basic non consequential stuff. How did you like school? What are your hobbies? What engineering classes did you like? If you are not fresh out of college they will ask about the products you made and work you did.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kyocera (New York, NY) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      Panel of interviewers, many of which were late. Answered same questions over and over again as each interviewer trickled in. Didn't really care about what improvements I had made at my current company or my success there. Criticized the methods I used to make those improvements. Don't mention wanting to become a manager. Was told there's a long line of engineers for that. Front desk person mentioned the place was cliquey and like highschool. Lots of red flags.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Kyocera (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      On-site interview consisted a 15-min presentation to a panel of 6 - managers, engineers, HR. Everyone was very nice, except this man so-called moral support who was the rudest interviewer I ever encountered. At the end of the presentation, he asks me to grade my presentation in scale from 0 to 10. He made a comment about the conclusion of my presentation, which was acceptable. Then he goes over my transcript asks why I failed a course, and then asks how I paid for college. I said my parents supported me, and he talks about how he feels bad about what he told to his children that he will not support them with their tuition. I got an impression that he tried to made me feel guilty for doing badly in some terms of school while being supported by parents. Thinking back now, I am aware that some Asian companies have HR interviewers to pose extreme questions to observe the interviewee's respondings. However, to me, it was very frustrating and offending.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why did you receive bad grades in some classes? How did you pay for college? Rate your presentation in scale from 0 to 10. Which department do you prefer to work for?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kyocera (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Total cluster from the get go; HR sent out conflicting and incomplete information on the interview schedule, times, dates, people. Phone screen followed by panel interview and then a promised/scheduled/rescheduled call with a general manager. Clearly, the company does not understand that HR is the first, public face to potential employees. Run the other way
