I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at General Atomics in Oct 2025
Interview
Applied on LinkedIn. Got a random email that I had an interview scheduled in 2 days, no recruiter reached out to me for a screening or discuss any prep. Easily the worst interviewers I’ve ever had, asking ridiculous 5-part questions, had zero enthusiasm and I was completely turned off in the first 5 minutes of speaking with the two interviewers. I had already accepted a much higher level position with a better company in the same space, but I took the interview out of courtesy and because you never know what can happen. I should have just declined the interview, would have saved me a headache. This interview completely changed my perspective on the company.
