Interview
The interview began with the hiring manager giving me a tour of the job site. He then introduced me to nearly everyone in the entire office. It was a great experience. I got to meet nearly 20 different engineers and engage in good conversations with many of them. After about 30 minutes, he sat me down and asked some questions about myself including work ethic, who I am as a person etc. He asked me some basic CE questions and that was it. It was a great experience.
