I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Eaton (Searcy, AR) in May 2018
Interview
Two phone interviews with corporate level HR and then a 3 hour interview/plant tour. During the in person portion the HR lady told me first thing I was dressed casually (Khakis and polo with proper PPE, same I wore to interview for job I have now) and she was shocked that I did not have a powerpoint presentation. I was not told that I needed one and have never heard of an interviewer asking for one either. Over all the interview was not too bad but it seemed a little weird that there was no technical questions at all for an engineering position. I only rate the experience as negative because the way the HR lady acted when first meeting me really threw me off.

Question 1
All interview questions where "Tell me about a time when..." style questions. Nothing technical.
Phone call then regular interview. Was pretty standard and basic. Phone call was like 15 min with their internal recruiter, asking salary and why looking for another position. After talk to the hiring manager to discuss experience via video call

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Eaton (Whittier, CA) in July 2024
Interview
It's a basic hiring interview process that involves one phone interview with the recruiter and manager. The final interview consists of an onsite interview with the team. Questions were mainly scenario-based questions from the recruiter to the onsite interview. I highly suggest reviewing STAR-based questions. Not too technical.
