I was brought into a meeting room and given a small test on paper which went through typical controls engineering questions. After I went through the test I spoke with the director and the manager about the position, what opportunity there was, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Like I said they gave me a literal test packet and asked me to answer the questions. The other thing they had me do was write out the ladder logic to blink lights with some timers.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Swisslog (Newport News, VA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Long 6 week process. Had to follow up multiple times with HR to see the status of the employment process. Lack of structure and feedback left me out of the know which was concerning due to other offers received in the interim.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Swisslog (Asheville, NC) in Jul 2016
Interview
The interview was actually pretty easy only asked a few basic questions then gave a tour of the facility, and asked a few closing questions. It wasn't as hard as I had expected and they pretty much had an idea of weather they would hire me from our communication and how we exchanged small talk through out the tour.
