Behavioral
The interview felt more like a casual chat than a formal assessment. It was a single in-person behavioral interview where they asked basic questions. Before meeting the interviewer, my resume had already been thoroughly reviewed by about three different people, including some engineers and HR staff. Be prepared to answer questions based on your resume.

Technical Behavioral
The hiring process at Bechtel Corp. began with a PPT presentation, followed by a written test (technical and aptitude) that was pen-paper based. Most students in EE/EEE from DTU (DCE) passed the written test. After that, a group discussion (GD) was held, and only a few people were eliminated. In total, 13 candidates proceeded to the technical interviews. The interviews seemed to be heavily based on academic percentages, particularly in Electrical Engineering. Around 5-6 candidates were shortlisted for the HR interview, and apparently, they were the top 5 in terms of percentage. The final results are still pending.
