      Senior Mechanical Designer Interview

      Jun 13, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hitachi (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Interview Process: The interview process started smoothly with HR reaching out, followed by a screening and then a conversation with the hiring manager. However, I found it surprising that no technical questions were asked at any stage — especially for a senior engineering role. After the final interview, I followed up twice — once after two weeks and again after a month — but received no reply. Several months later, I got an automated rejection email. Overall Impression: It was disappointing to go through a multi-stage process without any technical evaluation and then be met with complete silence. Respecting candidates’ time and offering timely feedback should be a minimum standard. Advice to the Company: If you're hiring for technical roles, ask technical questions. And more importantly, communicate clearly — ghosting candidates after interviews is unprofessional and reflects poorly on your employer brand.

      Question 1

      No technical questions were asked during the interview, which was surprising for a senior engineering position. The conversation focused mostly on my resume, general background, and past experiences.
