Edison Engineering Development Program Interview Experience
Process
To start the interview process, candidates were flown to Ohio. We went to dinner with current members of the Edison program the night before the interview.
On the morning of, we were divided into groups. We did two 1:1 interviews. One was technical, and the other was more behavioral-based (tell me a time when...).
Afterwards, your group was seated in a conference room with LEGO blocks. Outside of the room was a model made of LEGO blocks. The goal was to work together as a team to put your blocks together just like the model. The only catch was that only one person was allowed outside at a time. It was a test to see how well you worked with others.

- 3.0Good place to start your careerEdison Engineering Development Program • Current EmployeeErie, Pennsylvania, United StatesJuly 20, 2014Pros: - Great salary for entry-level engineers. - Great exposure to many fields of engineering and business. The locomotive product integrates several different fields of engineering, from structures to combustion to controls to circuit design. - Exposure to projects that really "matter." Many of your assignments have a high impact on the business. You won't be wasting time on small-time projects. Anything assigned to you is likely a very involved/crucial project.Cons: Work-life balance can be really bad depending on the area you work in. They are very understaffed but refuse to hire more engineers to compensate, and end up working people weekends or very long hours to execute deliverables. Upper management is very far removed from common sense. They all seek the lowest common denominator to get profit, even if that means cutting corners everywhere else. Workplace environment is really poor. Several buildings are very old with no new renovations. Parking lots are often dirt (or mud), pavement is old (except for the executive parking lot, of course), and buildings lack any sort of temperature control. Facilities are just generally dim and antiquated.
