I applied online. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell (Houston, TX) in Apr 2019
Interview
They flew me into their office which was nice. I was told to bring a presentation to discuss my past work experience and given a strict interview schedule. When I showed up, I was taken to lunch where we spent most of the allotted time of the day. The presentation was performed after lunch in which almost no time was provided. This could all have been part of the plan, but no real technical questions were asked during the process
