The interview process was quick and pretty standard. They mainly asked about my previous work experience and job description. Some questions were situational to see how I'd handle different scenarios.

After I sent in my application and CV, I had a virtual interview with some senior managers. They told me about themselves, asked me some questions, and I got to ask them questions at the end. It was a pretty good experience overall, the interviewers were nice and I learned a lot more about the company.

I applied for a job on Bechtel's website, but a relative who works there told me I had to apply through the Recent Graduate page. So I did that, and after about 1-2 weeks, HR called me to set up a phone interview. We had the interview, and they told me I could call the HR rep directly if needed. I didn't hear back for two weeks, and I tried calling multiple times over the next two months, leaving voicemails. I never heard back and have moved on since then. It's a bummer because I was really interested and knew a lot about the local project and the company.
