      Environmental Engineer Interview

      6 Aug 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Minneapolis, MN
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barr Engineering (Minneapolis, MN) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      In one day, I had multiple, hour-long interview panels. It was exhausting to be "on" for half the day with different sets of people. Some of the same questions were asked in different interview sessions. Everyone I interviewed with was friendly and kind. Once I made it through the interview process, Barr offered me a position. I was excited and honored to be offered the role. However, they had an unexpected stipulation. They required that I sign a contract stating I would only work in a certain department for X years. After X years, I could work for other departments. It was confusing because during the interview process everyone lauded the flat work environment. I asked that they remove or alter the contract but we could not come to an agreement. Also, even after negotiating the salary it came at the low-end of market value for both the position and my skill set/degrees.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions were about my skill set, prior work experience, and behavioral examples.
