Interview
I applied while I was still a senior BSEE student and I was a semester away from my graduation. I pre-interviewed via phone call inside my car at a parking lot. It was funny that an alarm went off from a car near where I parked. It interrupted my interview but the interviewer did not mind about it and just laughed and said he understands the struggle of finding a peaceful place for interview on campus. LOL! The pre-interview went well and I received an invitation for the final round of interview in Warrendale, PA. During the final interview, I had to do a presentation in front of 3-4 managers. I used the opportunity to present what i have accomplished so far from my senior design project even though it is not complete yet. They seemed to like the idea that i found alternative ways to come up with new solutions when my previous solutions failed after I shared my struggles from my senior design project. After the presentation, I had the typically one-on-one interviews with the managers. The interviews were straightforward and not as technical as i would expect. I was still a student at the time so i understood that they wouldn't expect me to answer technical questions related to their respective departments. I was really prepared for the behavioral and situational questions. I gained advantage by using technical/project references when i answered their questions. FYI: This is from Dec 2015 so I cannot guarantee if the process is still the same.

Interview
Originally contacted by a bot that had me text whether or not I had the qualifications for the position (what my degree was, years in the job, etc.). Based on these responses, the bot suggested some times for a phone interview. The phone interview asked basic screening questions like salary, what relevant experience do I have, am I available on the weekends, etc. After completing the phone screen, the bot asked me if I was still interested in the position. I responded 1 for yes. That was several months ago and I haven't heard back. Eaton ghosted me.
