I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xerox (Wilsonville, OR)
Interview
Be prepared to provide specific examples of your technical skills, including engineering theory, analysis, statistical methods, GD&T, heat transfer, CAD, problem solving, etc. The Xerox interview process is rigorous and the expectations are high; the team has a high level of technical competence and won't be fooled by any hand waving.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some managers present candidates with a box full of interesting engineering "toys," and ask the candidate to explain how they work or what the phenomenon is that is demonstrated in the toy design. This is more about how you think and approach problems than getting the perfect answers.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Xerox in Feb 2012
Interview
The interviewing process was conducted exclusively via phone conversations. The initial phone interview lasted approximately 45 minutes and primarily consisted of answering technical questions and the discussing the roles and responsibilities of the position. The main topic of the second phone interview was the work environment at Xerox and high level details of the benefits. The mood of all the interviews was friendly and professional.
