I applied online. I interviewed at Local Motors in Mar 2021
Interview
Typical 30 minute HR interview with a 1 hour interview with two team members and a supervisor. During the engineering interview it was clear that they were overworked and expecting someone to work long hours and the benefits weren't the best. Asked engineering questions about stiffness that they probably found on the internet.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you pulled on a steel wire with a tube around it, what would take most of the load? What would break first?
Super streamline and no unexpected questions or conduct. It took about 45 min and I spoke with the drafting manager and the other drafter. It was a very laid back experience.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Local Motors (Chandler, AZ) in Jul 2016
Interview
Multiple step, multiple departments, phone, then with event team, then marketing manager. Very bizarre and unorganized. Each step was slow and I followed up after each step personally. It seemed this position was not a real priority.

Question 1
What motivates you? Honestly the process was very surface level and did not drill down to the actual day to day. Even at the second in person. Felt they did not know what they wanted, and not even sure they filled the position. I do not think this was a priority hire due to the lack of follow up and communication.
