Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Electrical Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

It was a Microsoft teams phone interview. We started by introducing ourselves. Then, I was asked to talk about myself and what courses I took. The technical interview lasted about an hour and covered basic power system questions. After that, there were some basic behavioral questions.

So interviews were like 3 stages total : first up was a phone call with HR for standard HR questions then they hit me with like 20-25 technical questions. Second was a video interview on Webex where we talked about deep technical stuff in Power Systems Engineering and also software. Finally, I had an onsite interview that started with a 1-hour talk and Q&A, then two 1-on-1 technical sessions. They ended up offering me the job right after the onsite. My guess is they make the decision based on how you perform in that second round.

The interview process had 2 stages. Stage 1 was a 1-hour phone interview with HR and the hiring team, covering behavioral and basic technical questions. Stage 2 was a 5-hour virtual 'on-site' interview. This included a 30-minute project presentation, 1 hour of Q&A, a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager and a senior manager, a 2-hour technical interview with the team, and a 30-minute benefits discussion with HR. I'm waiting to hear back.
