I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (Pullman, WA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Series of questions to evaluate subject knowledge, followed by technical performance evaluation, followed by brief interview with business Director. Lots of questions about customer service. Technical performance eval was challenging, definitely couldn't fake it.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a time that you had an unhappy customer, how did you address the situation.
