the interview process was great. great communication, easy enough questions - very surface level at first with the initial phone screen. it was then followed by a combined technical and behavioural interview.

1 on 1 interview with an engineer discussing technical qualifications. Asked general questions about my experience with the tech stack that they use. Asked about embedded systems and hardware. Overall a good experience even though I did not receive an offer.

Applied through an employee referral two years in a row. Second year, applied through multiple employee referrals. Interviewed two weeks before the position was supposed to start and was told I was the only qualified candidate. A week later was told that they were pursuing more qualified candidates. I've spent a lot of time trying to get an internship with this company as they have worked with and helped provide funding for outside projects I have played an influential part in, but an individual who is barely qualified and has a family member working at MOOG gets an internship without even trying. I've been recommended by many current staff and my work has been passed along to higher-ups, and yet individuals who are less qualified are the ones getting the positions.
