      Engineering Co-Op Interview

      Apr 5, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Southern Company in Oct 2017

      Interview

      I honestly just had a phone interview, I think my experience was different then most because most had at least one in person interview. I think it was because I was well connected.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Southern Company (Birmingham, AL)

      Interview

      It was a panel of three interviewers, and they asked a handful of behavioral questions. They were very respectful and seemed interested in hearing my responses, but the interview style was pretty rigid overall.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Southern Company (Athens, GA) in Apr 2024

      Interview

      The interview was completely behavioral and pretty chill, they asked predictable questions. Just come prepared with answers with common interview questions and the interview will be fine. I received an offer after about a week.
