      Senior Engineer Interview

      25 Jun 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Waynesboro, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Southern Company (Waynesboro, GA) in May 2013

      Interview

      Applied for position posted online. Was phoned for an interview a couple months later. There were no questions in the interview that asked anything about what I actually knew about Engineering. All questions pertained to how I interacted with people. 2 weeks passed when I received an email stating they had not decided on who they were going to hire. A few days later someone from HR called me to tell me my min salary was too high. (This was entered on my application I initially filled out.) I explained that I had simply put down my current salary. She told my the max they could pay was $20k less than what I listed. I agreed to the cut in order to gain a permanent job. After this conversation, I did not hear from them for 2 more weeks. I then received an email telling me would not be receiving an offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The most unexpected part was the lack of interest in my knowledge of Engineering.
