      Entry-Level Engineering I Interview

      29 Mar 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Philadelphia, PA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PECO (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2013

      Interview

      Interviews were conducted by three panels of non-engineering managers, and the questions were from a purchased structured interview packet. Please google and research a structured interview - it's quite different and it marginalizes candidates. There is little opportunity to express individuality based on work experience with the firm beforehand. You will need to prepare a "anything to add?" speech for the end of the interview. Any and all engineering questions are based on making you think out loud. Don't ramble; take your time, take notes, and think out loud analytically... calmly. The questions are simple but have many possibly answers - it's about you producing an optimal chain of decisions for the panel to see. Using the structured interview clearly makes the job of the panelists easier, but I don't think it allows for an honest appreciation of the candidate and their experience. It's just HR being HR.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Any of the structured questions - they all start with "Tell me about a time"... e.g. "Tell me about a time you overcame a personal obstacle in a group project context. What was the obstacle? What was the project? Who did you work with? How did you direct progress with the group?"
