30,172 process engineer interview questions shared by candidates

I enjoyed one of the interviewers who was extremely intelligent and enjoyable. However, the rest of the interviewers were lacking to a large extent. The interview questions from them were like someone trying really hard to make a difficult question, to show that their level is really high. But in fact, their level is the opposite of what they are trying to show. Someone without good fundamental knowledge who are trying to look sophisticated, if you know what I mean. To further elaborate, professors in universities are able to come up with insightful questions that test you based on some simple principles but the questions are very deep yet can be solved with basic knowledge. The interview questions at GoPro, on the other hand, came from someone who tried to make some simple concept really difficult. To be honest, there are really not that much to an imaging system in a camera, but instead, they tried to make every part of the interview process difficult to really underline the fact that they are working on some sophisticated products. The questions were awkward, like someone trying to explain to you the quadratic formula in a very sophisticated manner.
