      Engineering Interview

      16 Dec 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Houston, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Alcoa (Houston, TX) in May 2014

      Interview

      Laid back. Conversational type interview. Questions were blended in and were not very technical or difficult. Questions were weaved into the conversation. For interviewees, please be relaxed, honest, and ensure that you pay close attention to safety practices. Although grades play an important role in decision-making, if your resume shows a well rounded person this could work strongly in your favor. Be sure to casually/naturally highlight things that you have done to get you to where you are today. Every interview is different but showing that you value a team, that you are hard working and that you are rounded will work for you. If taken on-site, be observant and vigilant of practices and procedures and follow suit. It is good to have some knowledge on the company in terms of what products they make. Do not stress to understand the areas as this information will become a part of your training if you get hired. As long as you understand the general function of the location and know a few details about the market, this will work well for you. Also, how you interact with your peers will also be a part of your evaluation, or so it seems for many.
