      Senior Structural Engineer Interview

      14 Feb 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Coffman Engineers (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      This firm is one I would never apply for. They are run by complete idiots. You will be forced to fill out additional forms and you will not ever get an interview even though I already filled out the basic form online. The reason they do this is so they can recruit your references. Their HR person told me I was not even qualified to be a structural engineer in California even though I am licensed as one. Then they have the audacity to repost the opening again. The reason I think Coffman Engineers does this is for free consulting. When I asked the HR person why I was not qualified, she could not even explain it. Heck, their HR people are so stupid they would screw over applicants who hep their own family members.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were no unusual questions because they lied about the job opening to begin with.

      I’m sorry to hear that you had a bad experience interviewing with Coffman. This surprises me because we work really hard at making sure we are respectful of our candidate’s time and only ask for the information we need to help us make good hiring decisions. We haven’t had a Senior Structural Engineer opening in the Seattle office in over 15 months, so it is difficult to understand where the communication breakdown happened. You must have interviewed in one of our California offices and just mentioned our corporate office in your response. Either way, I’d really like to hear more about this so feel free to contact me directly at 509-328-2994. Dave Ruff - President
