Phone call with friendly in-house recruiter. Phone interview with hiring manager with good leadership skills. On-site interview with multiple team members was intense and mostly friendly and lasted 3+ hours.

The interview for the Manufacturing Engineer position at Agilent was highly technical, focusing mainly on electronic component functions and their real-world applications. The engineer was professional and asked detailed questions. However, the hiring manager appeared uninterested, mentioning he was busy and showing limited engagement during the session. This made the experience feel less structured and somewhat discouraging. Overall, it was a technically challenging interview but could have been more positive with better coordination and involvement from the hiring manager.
