The interview process was pretty typical for this level of position, starting with an initial phone interview and then an in-person, day-long set of interviews that included a presentation. Two things were a bit different though - they actually called my references before they even scheduled an initial interview with me, and after my in-person interview, they asked me to complete a strengths assessment.

Behavioral Technical
I applied and went through an initial interview. However, it took 2-3 weeks to hear back between interviews, and I felt strung along. I'm not sure if this was intentional or due to disorganization, but I was frustrated. As a donor and alumnus, this treatment was disappointing, and I worry about other candidates without connections.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process was structured. They asked about my experience and gave me some scenario-based questions. For example, 'If a boiler is going to explode, what do you do?' The answer was to kill the power. It was pretty easy and laid back. There were two people interviewing me, both chief stationary engineers with over 20 years of experience. They were really nice and easy to talk to. They offer a 90-day training period because there's a lot of equipment on campus. They have every type of equipment you can imagine, which is great for someone who likes to take initiative.

Behavioral
It was a simple process with a phone call first, then two in-person interviews. They asked specific questions about who you'd report to, which kept changing right after you were hired. Otherwise, the interview process was pretty straightforward.
