Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Hitachi (Harrodsburg, KY) en oct 2016
Entrevista
I was grilled with technical questions for over 90 minutes on the phone before being asked to come to their plant for a face-to-face interview a few days later. At the plant, I was grilled with another 90 minutes of technical questions by a whole new group. At no time did they show me the factory floor or office work environment. I actually had to ask what they made for the interviewer to show me in a different office. To this day, I don't know how many "free overtime" hours engineers are expected to work (Hitachi is notorious for abusing salary exempts), how much PTO, or other fringe benefits; they never tried to sell the company to me and I would be just a number. Upon leaving, the rudeness of the employees was just starting. Since they ended the interview during shift change, the plant employees wouldn’t let me cross the driveway to get to my car. After I got to the car, I couldn’t pull out of the visitor parking lot until practically every single employee in line had exited the plant. I would NOT accept a position from this company if they had offered.

Simple, they focus on previous projects to see if the candite has the experience necessary. There are two phases. In general they want the candidates that get to the interview step.
Senior Manager called for interview. The interview took almost one hour. Then HR called for salary and negotiation. They sent appointment letter one week after interview. You need to reply within 1 week.
There were three steps. First one is with HR, 2nd one is with team manager, 3rd one with Department Head. I had to describe my work in grad school. NOt very difficult process.
