I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Jacobs (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2026
Interview
It was good and comfortable. Interview was bit difficult . Hood technical questions asked by the panel. It was a good experience overall. Transformer protections, Cable Sizing, Demand and diversity factors.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Jacobs (Portland, OR)
Interview
Good overall, asked me behavioral based questions mainly and asked for my technical experience. The interview lasted about 45 minutes. The process was nice and there were no trick questions.
Extremely disappointing. They repeatedly scheduled interviews and then cancelled them with no notice at all. This happened three separate times.
The constant last-minute cancellations and lack of communication came across as very disorganised and unprofessional. After the third cancelled interview, I decided to withdraw my application entirely. Unfortunately, the process ended up being a waste of time, and it left me with a very negative impression.
