Started with a "HireVue" to kick off the process, not a fan of these kinds of systems, would rather speak with a real person. Speaking to yourself and answering prerecorded questions is disrespectful of the candidate's time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Burns & McDonnell (Columbus, OH) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was very good. Made it very easy. Organized and I got to talk to actual engineers which helped me know what to expect. Was super interesting getting to talk to them. Was sort of just like a chat.
The interview process was incredibly smooth, professional, and surprisingly enjoyable. Communication was clear throughout, the interviewers were friendly and engaging, and every step felt well-organized, transparent, and genuinely focused on finding the right mutual fit.

Question 1
They asked me to walk through a real-world business problem I had solved—specifically how I gathered requirements, analyzed data, aligned stakeholders, and translated insights into actionable recommendations that improved measurable outcomes.
