I had a couple phone screen interviews. One with HR and another with the hiring manager. After that I was flown up to Kent. Then had a panel interview with a technical presentation. Before flying up I had to write a short essay on the future of space travel. After the interviews we had lunch with the interviewing group and a facility tour.

Question 1
How have you used one of Blue’s values in the past?
Overall a good experience, recruiter was very warm and understanding. Intimidating and in-depth on specificities of personal experiences but understandably so, considering the skills and effort required to design and manufacture reusable launch vehicles.

What's one project that you worked on where the application of GD&T had a large impact on?
Had a 1 call with a recruiter, who asked me about myself, and asked if i met the qualifications for the role. Then got ghosted for the 1:1s call, was never scheduled even after reaching out.
