Interview
First I had an interview for a field engineer position on campus. Troubleshooting seemed to be a good talking point. I then proceeded to a group interview at their Sugar Land campus. At the time, I was again being interviewed for a field engineer position. We had to make a pipe cleaner bridge and perform other group tasks. I just tried to be myself, get along with the other candidates, ask a few questions about the company, be reasonably energetic, and show some genuine interest in the company and its work, casually assuring the interviewers that I could handle a job that wasn't 9-5, was outdoors, etc. It doesn't hurt to mention hobbies that require mechanical aptitude or hands on / outdoors experience. At the end of the interview, they asked me if I would be more interested in their tech and field program where you would work for 2 years in the field and then move to a technology center or a regular field engineer position. I said I'd be more interested in the tech and field program. Several months passed, with no communication and then a recruiter called with an offer to come work at their Sugar Land Technology center.
