Behavioral

It was a panel interview, with four people from the team. It was about an hour long and mostly behavioral questions. They asked about school projects, teamwork, and how I deal with safety issues. It felt like a conversation, but they did ask follow up questions.

Behavioral

It was pretty straightforward. I had a panel interview with about 5 people, and they were interviewing for different roles within Civil Engineering. Mostly, they asked behavioral questions. My advice is to answer the questions but make sure to connect them back to your own experiences.
