I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Hitachi
Interview
Initial interview over the phone, then a formal in person interview starting with HR and then several other personnel from the server department. It is an all day visit and resulted in a next day response. Company flies prospect out to office in Ohio and conducts an all day interview process. Very thorough, including a basic electronics test and other challenging interview questions.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hitachi in Nov 2020
Interview
There were a few round of interviews with hiring the manager and then with the engineering team. Multiple questions about your troubleshooting skills and technical abilities. The first interview was with Human Resources.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation were you had to make a difficult decision and how did it turn out.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hitachi in Nov 2013
Interview
Most of the questions were the run of the mill how much experience do you have, why did you leave your last job, tell me about a problem you solved. I was also asked why I would like to work for Hitachi Medical Systems. Seemed to be a lot of long pauses after answering questions which I thought was odd.

Question 1
The Technical questions seemed vague so I had a hard time gauging how in depth of an answer they wanted. Overall nothing seemed very difficult or unexpected.
