I did not apply to the position on the Wisk website. Instead, I reached out to a recruiter directly on LinkedIn and expressed my interest. The recruiter agreed to complete an initial phone screen after this first contact within 12 hours of me reaching out. Step 1. Initial Phone screen with the recruiter. The recruiter asked for information like my desired starting date, my salary expectations, and if I was currently interviewing with any other companies. The recruiter also asked me to describe my engineering background and why I was interested in Wisk and the Bay Area. The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes. Step 2. Interview with team member Within 24 hours of the phone screen, I was contacted again by the recruiter. The recruiter stated that the team was interested in getting to know me and my background further. An interview with with a team member was scheduled for later that same week. The interview was very technical. I was asked to describe methodology for safety and reliability analyses such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Common Cause Analysis (CCA) Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA). The interviewer made sure that I knew how to use each analysis and when to use them. We also walked through my resume. At the time, I was 3.5 years out of college, so we walked through my internship experiences and previous job experience. The interview lasted about 1hour. Step 3. Phone Interview with Manager The recruiter was quick to contact me after the interview with the team member. The recruiter contacted me within 12 hours of the interview to let me know that the Manager wanted to schedule an interview with me. Due to schedules not matching up for that week, the phone interview with my manager was scheduled for the following week. The interview with my manager was also very technical. I was asked to walk through how I put together a safety program for systems that I was familiar with. We walked through my resume and I was also asked about my hobbies and what I liked to do when I am not doing System Safety. The manager was equally interested in my hobbies/outside of work interests and my technical experience and abilities. This interview lasted about 1 hour. Step 4. On Site Interview Again, the recruiter response time was fast. I heard back within a day that the team was interested in conducting an on-site interview with me. Due to my schedule, the interview was to be completed in the following week. The recruiter was very helpful with making sure I got my flights and hotels sorted out. The recruiter let me know that the on-site interview would consist of the following 1. A 45min presentation by me to the Wisk Safety and Systems teams, my potential manager, and the director of systems engineering 2. A group question and answer session about my presentation 3. One-on-one interviews with 2 team members 4. One-on-one interview with my potential manager 5. One-on-one interview with the director of Systems Engineering 6. Lunch on-site with the systems and safety team members The presentation took me about 4 hours to design in PowerPoint and a few hours to practice. My presentation described my career and hobby passions as well as safety and reliability projects I had worked on at my current job. The actual on-site interview had a relaxed feel. 80% of the questions I was asked were technical in nature. The other 20% were get to know you type of questions. I was asked to get up at a white board and to actually complete 2 small safety analyses at a system level. Step 5. Job Offer/Negotiation I was in almost daily contact with the recruiter in the days following the on-site interview. About a week after my interview, I was given a counter offer from Wisk after stating an offer from one of the other companies I was interviewing with. Wisk was quick to send me a letter and get the interview process closed out. I had been interviewing with a few other companies while applying to the position at Wisk. Mentioning that may have sped up the interview process. The interview process was smooth, but the interviews were very technical in nature and the presentation required a fair amount extra planning and preparation which increased the difficulty of the interview.
