I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SharkNinja (Newton, MA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Lots of personality questions - not many mechanical engineering questions. I interviewed with the recruiter first, had another phone call with the manager, and then two separate in-person interviews at the office.

Question 1
Again - lots of personality questions and how I work in a team.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SharkNinja
Interview
The interview process included a site visit (in total two rounds). The first round was a basic 30 minute interview with behavioral questions. The second (on site) included technical questions.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SharkNinja in May 2024
Interview
Internal referral from a current employee. Phone screen with hiring manager followed by in-person interview with 5 members of the engineering team ranging from the hiring manager up to the VP. The entire process took about 3 weeks.
One 30 min call with the hiring manager where we talked about background/resume/past projects.
Then a virtual on-site where I talked to several engineers from the team/other teams. Most of these were design questions, with a few technical questions and resume questions. The technical questions were pretty straightforward and easy.

How would you redesign this feature?
Walk through past experience.
