I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps in May 2019
Interview
Interview process started as a “wine and dine” with a tour of a couple ongoing projects and then dinner and drinks for the entire group of applicants. Actual interview was the following day in a “round-robin” style combined with a presentation on pay structure and benefits for those not actively in an interview.

Question 1

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Irvine, CA)
Interview
Round Robin type interviews. So mentally prepare to do about 4~5 interviews over a few hours. Some interviewers felt almost identical but some really wanted to get to know you and hear your career story.
I attended the career fair and was able to secure a next-day interview. I had an hour-long interview where I was asked questions about myself and my experience, and I was able to ask multiple questions.
