I applied online. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell
Interview
At the beginning of the hiring process, candidates are required to participate in an online video interview. This allows the hiring managers to screen candidates before proceeding to the next stage. After the initial interview, selected candidates are invited to an in-person interview where they can meet the hiring managers in person and further discuss their qualifications and experience.

Interview
This was for Global Facilities so mileage may vary for other interviews
Interview process was short and sweet:
1) Talked to an engineer from the team at a university career fair
2) Had a 45 minute panel interview with 3 managers and an Sr. engineer (guy from career fair)
- This interview was very casual and
3) Received an email saying I got an offer
4) Went in-person to receive the offer and meet the team
Overall the Process from start (Career fair) to finish (getting the offer in person) took 3 weeks

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell in Oct 2025
Interview
Single prerecorded interview, however during the process of me recording my interview my application was moved to be no longer under consideration. Clearly the recordings were not reviewed as I wasn't finished with them, disappointing for such a prestigious company.
