      Structural Design Engineer Interview

      24 Dec 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Portland, OR
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at KPFF (Portland, OR) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Typical small chat interview process. Getting to know the principals and a brief office tour. Seemed like a pretty generic office and employees didn't seem very happy during the tour. After the interview and tour was the sudden "oh and by the way we have a quiz". After completing their test the receptionist took it and she showed me out. It was a strange procedure. Got an offer that was under $50k/year and I didn't proceed any further.

      Question 1

      Typical shear and moment diagrams. Laying out rebar in a footing.

      Structural Design Engineer Interview

      26 Jun 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at KPFF (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      Interview process was smooth, they would ask some technical questions. The process of getting reimbursed for my travel expense was painfully slow, overall experience was negative because I had to email and call during the span of a month for me to receive it.

      Structural Design Engineer Interview

      10 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at KPFF (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      After applying to the position online, I got an email from one of the associates to set up a phone interview. There were no technical questions in the phone interview--more questions about my interest in the field, what types of projects I see myself working on, how I work, how I see my career progressing, etc. At first I didn't hear back for several weeks, but I later received an email inviting me to fly in for an in person interview with other project managers. For this interview, the first portion was again typical interview questions and the second portion was technical questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why are you interested in structural engineering? Do you have any project type you're interested in? Why do you think KPFF is a good fit for you?
