I applied through Whirlpool Careers website. Received a call from HR Recruiting & discussed about my candidature briefly. I then had a Telephonic interview for 45 min in the following week with a Lead Engineer in the team where I was asked to describe my work experience & skill-set briefly.
Later, I got a call inviting me for an on-site interview which has been scheduled after nearly 4 weeks I got the call.
On my interview day, I was interviewed by totally 9 members (8 Engineers + 1 HR) for 5 hours. I had 5 sets of 1 hour sessions on the day. They went through range of questions asking me to explain my previous work experience, my academic project experience at global level, what made me choose my academic major, why am I interested in Whirlpool & about my other personal interests, etc.
They also asked me some critical questions by giving me some random plots & graphs to look at.
I had been interviewed by engineers relating to various backgrounds & hierarchical levels.
I was invited for a lunch with hiring manager & couple of engineers within the prospective team.
At the end, after the lunch, they took to me for a community tour showing me the local attractions & locations of other Whirlpool offices within the Benton Harbour & St. Joseph cities.
