      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Protolabs (Maple Plain, MN) in Mar 2012

      Interview

      All applicants must apply online, HR responds by phone. Initial phone interview is conducted by HR, vanilla questions about your experience, why you applied, basic weed-out questions. On site interview was 2 part with multiple 1-on-1 interview sessions (some positions do panel-style interviews), for this position, 2 interviews for the first on-site session, back 3 days later for a second session of 3 interviews. Each was 15-20 minutes long. Interview questions for the on-site focused on presenting a hypothetical & how you would handle it or how you handled X situation in previous experiences. Managers are very interested in your thought process, intelligence, and attitude rather than qualifications. Interviewers were friendly, but stern/serious, giving the impression that the culture was far more uptight than it actually is once you starting working. From application & interviews to offer letter was one week, background check took another week. Drug test is hair chromatography, not urinalysis, fair warning to any applicants.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most Difficult: one interviewer pointed at a stack of applications on their desk and bluntly asked why I should be hired over other applicants. Most unexpected: If Darth Vader and Superman had a fight, who would win & why?
