I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell
Interview
Very lengthy and cumbersome! One important thing to mention here is that this company utilizes one of the society's biggests fears to get you in, then make you work to death. That is called "Retirement".
The whole promise is that you become owner of the company as it is employee owned, and they give you stock. You are a bit richer when you leave the company or retire. Sounds amazing, right? But then there is so much pressure to charge clients 40 hours! You print a piece of paper and you have to charge the client, lol :) They ask you to fly despite Covid. They work you to death so that you will miss on your life but retire comfortably! Who guarantees you will see your retirement???
If you are only living your life to retire comfortably and don't care about your limited days, then this company is for you! A smart person would see the trick they play and find a more "humane" company!

Question 1
They asked to give them an example of a difficult project I had worked on and the challenges I’ve run against.
A series of interviews with various members of the team. Questions range from discussing experience and projects, to technical questions about substation design. Went out to lunch to determine 'fit' within the team. Overall not too intense.
