Entretien
I don't think Hermeus even knew what they wanted. I think they keep everything up in the air and vague as a way to protect the company. I don't even know what job title I applied for since the job posting only said "Propulsion Team Member".
I applied because the company website said they were interviewing people with X skills/expertise. After applying, I was contacted to discuss the job opportunity with a talent scout.
The job posting was super vague, and the scout was unable to provide ANY job details. I asked what an employee with X skills/expertise might work on at Hermeus. Why are they looking for these skills? What would a typical day look like? What is an example of a typical job duty/responsibility? The only response I received was that everyone does a little of everything.
8 weeks later I receive a vague email (rejection letter?) explaining how they currently don't have a role that is an ideal match for me.

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Hermeus (Atlanta, GA) en août 2021
Entretien
Very smooth. Working directly with Natalie was a breeze. Phone screens went how I'd have expected them to, and on-site had a fun, casual but still comprehensive feel to it.
The on-site was coordinated smoothly and the offer came through quickly.
Great process overall, I have no regrets about taking the couple days to see the company and the area.
