I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Alloy Product Development (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interviewing team was very responsive to all questions and helpful throughout the process. It was a thorough interview and really looked at the core competencies of a Mechanical Engineer

Interview
After applying online, I was given a design challenge homework assignment. After submitting the assignment I had a brief phone interview, followed by a longer video chat design challenge interview, and finally an on-site with a few panels. Questions were a mix of basic engineering fundamentals (basic thermo, beam bending, etc) and design challenges (align two competent a precisely, design a standing desk).
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alloy Product Development (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
There was three parts to the interview process. First, they screen you at your university if they have an info-session. Then, they would contact you with some homework to make sure you understand some basic engineering concepts which you would turn back in. Then, they would invite you to present your portfolio at the company with a few people there, they would also give you a technical interview there as well. After that, they would invite you to the final interview where you would present the same thing to a larger group.

Interview
The interview process began through a homework assignment that was sent through email. Next was an in-person interview with a couple of the engineers working for the company. Finally, there was a final round interview with a larger group of engineers, where I had to present some of the work I have done previously.

Question 1
A mix between standard mechanical engineering questions and a brainstorming session. A large part of the interview was based on presenting your work and answering any followup questions that they may have.
