      Graduate Mechanical Design Engineer Interview

      20 June 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Geneva
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at CERN (Geneva)

      Interview

      The interview was very casual and began with a brief ~5-10min presentation giving an overview of the engineering department and a variety of projects at CERN. The two interviewers were friendly and engaging, allowing the candidate freedom and time to speak about any aspect of previous education/experience of your choosing. Offered a healthy back and forth conversation before finishing with a short technical quiz.

      Question 1

      I don't recall a specific 'interview-style' question, as the process was quite laid back and more conversational. Worth familiarizing yourself with your previous projects/experiences to chat about.
