I applied online. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell
Interview
Was given an online screening where you were asked questions and recorded your answers. Continued with an interview over Zoom. The interview was average with a couple of basic questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your specialization in Electrical Engineering and why did you choose it?
The first one is a pre-recorded interview, which is comparatively easy and mostly centrered around past experiences. The second one is a teams call which I am yet to attend.
One online “interview” where it asks questions and you record answers. Then had a 30 minute interview with an HR person where we discussed my interests and resume. Then had a phone call with a senior engineer for around 30 minutes asking about my resume and experience. Seems like they are gauging more about how you are as a person than the technical aspects of engineering.

Question 1
Be prepared to explain your projects, previous work experience, coursework, etc.
It was a great interview process, and the HR was very helpful. It goes relatively fast, and they constantly keep you updated throughout the process. The interview itself was not too hard. It was mostly behavioral questions.
