I interviewed for a Mechanical Engineer position at Agtonomy and had a mixed experience overall. The process started strong but ended without clarity.
Interview Process:
1. Initial screen with the Hiring Manager
2. Technical interview with two engineers focused on CAD, mechanical problem-solving, and real-world design challenges
3. Final Interviews with upper management (scheduled but not conducted)
Everyone I spoke with was sharp, respectful, and clearly passionate about Agtonomy’s mission in agtech and automation. The technical round was engaging and relevant to the role.
However, there were significant delays and communication gaps. It took four weeks after the first round to get scheduled for the second. Two weeks later, I was contacted to set up final rounds with upper management. Those were scheduled, but canceled just a day before with a note saying they’d follow up with an update on the role. It's now been two weeks since that cancellation with no communication or closure.
What Could Be Improved:
1. Clearer communication around delays and changes
2. Timely follow-ups and transparency about the status of the role
Overall:
The team seemed great and the work exciting, but the lack of closure left a disappointing impression.
