      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at RBC Bearings (West Trenton, NJ) in May 2012

      Interview

      Interview with HR director for a period of time to go over company details and information in regards to the position.

Questions involved about my internship experience, senior design project, and information about my schooling.

      Manufacturing Engineer Trainee Interview

      Nov 21, 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hawthorne, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at RBC Bearings (Hawthorne, CA) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      Got an interview after a school career fair, came in to the office and saw that they were interviewing a lot of people for the same job as they left before me. The two Directors that interviewed me were unprofessional as they did not allow me to finish an answer before interrupting with another question and cutting me mid sentence. Throughout the interview, I was unimpressed with both of the interviewer’s attitude. Their attitude was cocky, laid back in their rolling chair with an unimpressed, uninterested look on their faces, eye glasses end in mouth. After 30 minutes of interviewing me (although I could not finish an answer completely) they decided to give me an offer and asked me shake on it on the spot. They took me to the lobby where HR came out with a one page offer letter and a pen. They expected a signature right on the spot. Pay at high 60s with a very small bonus was not good especially for the amount of work they described and right off the bat, they said they expected company loyalty after the training to stay in the company. If you get an offer from this company, you can very well get an offer elsewhere with a company who values life outside work as well with better benefits and compensation.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Why engineering? (Then they asked it again when they didnt like my initial answer)
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What is a dowel pin?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Why do you want to work for us?
      Answer question

      Question 4

      What do you see yourself doing in 5 years?

      Manufacturing Engineer Trainee Interview

      Dec 3, 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Fe Springs, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RBC Bearings (Santa Fe Springs, CA) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      Showed up, signed in, and no one was at the front desk, but everyone just kept staring at me not saying anything or asking why I was there. After 10 minutes, I got someone's attention and was escorted to the conference room for the interview. The interview was fairly easy, but one of the three interviewers didn't seems to like any of my answers and gave kind of an attitude in a condescending way. They also had me prepare a 15 minute presentation on a given topic and were confused on how I organized it even though that's what was stated in the email. I followed up twice and no one ever responded. I know they aren't obligated too, but at least a rejection would suffice instead of getting completely ghosted. Had me waste my week preparing a pointless presentation and they can't even respond to a single email. Thanks RBC Bearings!
