Process was done online. We had to video respond to online questions. I loved this because it gave you time to think and respond. This was much easier than in person.

Question 1
Something special about yourself and what makes you perfect for the job
I got a hirevue request first as an initial screening process, it was a few behavioral questions and you get a few minutes to prepare before answering in a video recording.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Schneider Electric (Andover, MA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Tour was great. Employees were friendly and happy to talk about what line of work they were in or working on. Project space was excellent. Explanation of current project was thorough and easy to understand as a novice engineer. Responses to questions were very descriptive and thought through. I had a great time in the tour. Interview process was quick and easy. Questions were personal, some related to the line of work and some not. Very well balanced interview.

Question 1
A lot of the questions were personalized to myself. I was asked to explain or rather expand on my experiences in the engineering realm from my time at school and the extent of my engineering knowledge I.e any projects, classes etc. I had in school.
HireVue interview in the first round. Basic questions on your behavioural characteristics. Worded quite differently from how you might usually expect them to come, Seemingly unlimited attempts even though it says 2 attempts. Gives you time to practice as well.
