The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Altec Industries in Oct 2009
Interview
I met the folks from Altec at a campus job fair. After speaking briefly with several of the representatives and giving them my resume, I was invited to a restaurant where they were holding an information session that evening. I went, and it was a very laid back dinner. I was later emailed to schedule an interview. The interview was pretty standard. A couple questions I remember: "Who is the most influential person in your life" and "If you were a tool, what kind of tool would you be?" The second one ended up being a joke, but I didn't find out until months later.

Question 1
If you were a tool, what kind of tool would you be?
I applied online. I interviewed at Altec Industries (Roanoke, VA) in Feb 2021
Interview
They asked a good amount of questions and they answered most of mine clearly, especially for the amount that I had. Very friendly during the process. At times it seemed as though they didn’t have the answers to all my question but they were able to get it in some way.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Altec Industries (Creedmoor, NC) in Oct 2019
Interview
The interview was fairly long (~3 hours) with multiple groups of engineers. I had a good conversation with them and could only really talk about my hobbies and what made me interested in mechanical engineering since I had no prior work experience. I was also taken on a plant tour which was very interesting.
We met at the career fair and met for an interview soon after. It was very personable. I just answered like it was a normal conversation and it went great. Just try to get as much information out of the interview process as you can. There is a lot to learn about this company and it is important to ask questions.
