I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Irvine, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
It was a two stage interview. Stage 1 was round robin type interview in the local office where I met with 5 people. If you make it past the first stage, you move onto a two-day interview the following week. The second stage consists of site visits as well as activities meant to get to know the other applicants as well as the current employees you might be working with. The second day is strictly interviews where again they use a round robin style. Here you meet with 4 or 5 of the higher ups in 15 minute interviews for about 4 hours total with breaks in between. After a week or two you know whether you will receive an offer or not.

Question 1
Which is better: good and on time or perfect and late.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Irvine, CA)
Interview
Round Robin type interviews. So mentally prepare to do about 4~5 interviews over a few hours. Some interviewers felt almost identical but some really wanted to get to know you and hear your career story.
I attended the career fair and was able to secure a next-day interview. I had an hour-long interview where I was asked questions about myself and my experience, and I was able to ask multiple questions.

Question 1
How would you solve a problem when two trades are clashing?
I applied online. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Phoenix, AZ) in Sept 2025
Interview
Good during process but, not good communication on a yes or no. This is not a good sign. Didn't bother to give me a generic sorry we won't be pursuing you.
