Interview
The process was easy just super long. I was interviewed in total by 4 people, but was given an offer. At the end I decline the offer because the pay was really low for the position. I was offer $9.50 less an hour than current position.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Primera Engineers (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Applied online. They got back to me in about two weeks with a scheduled phone interview. Afterwards, they sent me on a 1 on 1 interview on location. This was with a professional engineer in Munster IN which I thought went very well. After a few days I heard back from them and then they sent me to their headquarters where I interviewed with 4 people; 2 of which were professional engineers and the other 2 were HR.
I do not know much about the company's recent history but it seemed that they were sorta directionless due to their leadership transition. I think this is evident by them using their third party HR recruitment program, which felt strange and disconnected. The general gist of the interview was them telling me what they do and going through these pre-made lists of generic questions. They did not seem very enthusiastic to interview me either.
However, please take what I say with a grain of salt because this was my first interview for an engineering position. Many factors could have been affecting their decision on me. I could have not had the experience they wanted in conjunction with what I was asking for as my salary which was below industry average for entry level civil.
Overall, even though it was a rejection, I still think it provided some good interview experience and if your interviewing with them you should not be discouraged by my review. See for yourselves, and verify if your experience was the same as mine.
