So the interview process had a few parts. First, we did a group exercise where we had to build the Eiffel Tower or a bridge using Lego. Then, in the first part of the interview, I had to present why I wanted to work for Murphy and also talk about any relevant experience like CW or internships. The second part of the interview involved answering about 4-5 general questions and 3 technical ones.
