I applied in-person. I interviewed at Woodward (Niles, IL) in Feb 2026
Interview
Received an invite for a 30-min. phone interview about a week after applying. Basic questions were asked about employment history, experience, and skills. Didn’t hear back from the corp. recruiter until I had a calendar invite for an in person interview for a day and time that we did not discuss. I had to ask for a rescheduled time since it was too short of notice to make arrangements for. We were able to get something rescheduled. In person interview was on-site with a total of 3 folks, 1 who the role would report to and 2 others that the position would correspond with. The interview was for roughly an hour and I received a brief tour/overview of the manufacturing floor. They used the STAR method for interview questions. After the interview, I did not hear back from any one at the organization. The folks conducting the interview did not provide their business cards or anyway to contact them directly.

Question 1
Describe a time you had a difference of opinion and how you were able to convince the team to go with your view?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Woodward (Fort Collins, CO) in Sept 2025
Interview
I was invited following a career fair. The representative I had spoken with and who expressed interest in interviewing me had to step out for a work call, leaving another interviewer to conduct the interview. He appeared disengaged and eager to conclude the interview, as he was eating during the discussion and seemed focused on finishing the day. I was told I would be informed of the outcome afterward, but I never received a follow-up.

Describe a scenario in which you were working as part of a team and one team member was not doing their part. How did you manage this?
The interview was very simple and easy. The person i interviewed with was fun to talk to. It wasn't high high pressure in any way, and the questions weren't difficult to answer on the spot.
