Question 1
What makes you apply for the position? What are you looking for?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Materialise (Plymouth, MI) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview with the Hiring Manager went well asking common background and experience questions. Very clear and straight forward with all answers to my questions. The HR interview was very poor like the times before with my experience. HR reviewed my resume and turned me down without even asking any questions so I could elaborate on my experience in my resume, even though the Hiring Manager indicated that I would be a great fit for the job.
