Technical Behavioral

Went through three interviews that seemed to go really well with the team, I felt like I answered everything okay, or at least correctly. Then, just ghosted, no word back. Up to that point, it was going perfectly. I kinda feel like maybe there was some weird bias from one person who actually cursed thinking their camera was off, but I'm not sure. Wasn't gonna review, but ghosting after multiple steps shouldn't happen.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Technical questions were asked as expected for the role.
  • There was a very specific and confusing question about a hypothetical situation involving a senior staff member who wants something critical not done, and they won't consider any data.
  • How would you handle a situation where a senior staff member insists on a critical system change without considering any data or information?

Behavioral Technical

It started with a chat with the hiring manager, then a longer Zoom/Teams call with the hiring manager and some regional folks, and finally an in-person meeting at the office. The first call was about my skills and if I was interested. The Teams call had some background and behavior questions. The in-person was about 2-2.5 hours to meet the civil engineering team and environmental project managers.

Behavioral Technical

I met with 4 engineers from the area. I wasn't impressed with their professionalism or how prepared they were. No one met me at the front to bring me in, so the interview started late. The lead engineer hadn't shaved and seemed unprepared. They couldn't really explain what they were looking for in a candidate, so I pretty much had to run the interview myself. After it was over, there was no follow-up, and I had to reach out to them about the job.

Behavioral Technical

I applied for this job and was contacted by HR within a week. I was selected as one of six finalists. I drove four hours to their regional office for an interview with a panel of three people (one from the regional office and two from upper management). The interview was two hours long. I was told I would hear back the following week, but I never did. It's nearing the end of March and I haven't heard anything, not even a rejection letter.
