I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Milwaukee Tool (Brookfield, WI) in Sep 2025
Interview
Two video interviews back-to-back with two separate interviewers. Both had a mix of technical questions about projects on resume and standard behavioural questions about teamwork and problem solving. The interviewer was very friendly and asked follow up questions. They also did a standard tell me about yourself question.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Milwaukee Tool (Terre Haute, IN) in Oct 2023
Interview
Was able to talk to representatives at college career fair, and got invited to a first-round interview. Was over video for about 30 minutes and was pretty standard behavioral interview. A little less than a week later got invited to final round interview. Two days; first day was just information presentations on company history/values, the department I was interested in, and culture. Second day was two 30 minute interviews (although I know for others it was three). First one asked some general questions and then shown a cross section of a tool and asked some thought process questions (How do you think this works, etc). Second one was more background-oriented, and more behavioral/teamwork focused. Be sure to mention if you are interested in a particular area, as they will make a note of it. Offer was given via a phone call early the next week.
