      Apr 12, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell in Apr 2017

      Interview

      Phone interview was 1 hour long. One department manager, one project manager, and one staff scientist on the phone. Good mix of generic interview questions and resume and job-skill related questions. Waiting to hear back from HR. Next stage will be an in-person interview. Very reasonable and positive interview experience.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell (Austin, TX) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      After applying and passing the resume phase, the first step consists of a pre-recorded virtual interview. The interview has about maybe 10 questions total, each question giving you two attempts before submitting. Once started, you have about 20 seconds to read the question before the recording begins - you are then supposed to answer and then you can review the video. If you do not like the first attempt you can go for the second attempt, however, you are unable to review your second attempt as the system automatically submits the video. The questions themselves were basic and only about two of them are about the company/position.

      Interview

      I sent an application and received an email requesting me to submit an interview. The interview was pre-recorded; I think eight questions were asked in total, but only four actually required an oral response. The written portion consisted of typical screening questions.

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2022

      The entire process consisted of a virtual interview, a phone call with the hiring manager, and an in-person interview during which I have a 10 minute presentation about my background and interests/goals. The recruiter was very good about communicating/setting up meetings and sharing helpful information to help me prepare for each step of the interview process.
