Engineering Intern Interview Experience - Ithaca, New York

Process

They probably got my resume from my university career fair. I was contacted for a phone interview that was strictly behavioral, 30 minutes long.

Then they immediately told me right after my interview that I was moved onto the next round. I was told to apply online to make the process official, and then I was contacted for an on-campus interview.

It was half technical and half behavioral, each section lasting about 30-40 minutes. I was contacted about 2-3 weeks after with an offer.

Questions

Phone Interview (Round 1)

  • Verified personal contact info and GPA.
  • Ran through the resume.
  • Why did you choose your major?
  • Show you're passionate about technology in this portion.
  • Pretty basic behavioral questions.

On Campus Interview (Round 2)

Behavioral Portion

  • Why did you choose your major?
  • Just ran through the resume – "tell me about this."
  • Location preferences, etc.
  • Tell me about a time you had difficulty with a team member and how you handled it.
  • Was really easygoing.

Technical Portion (2 people interviewed me at the same time)

  • How do you like college so far?
  • Concept I've learned in a project/class and how I've used it.
  • Can you name a time when you worked with someone who wasn't doing his/her part of a project or was unenthusiastic about it? How did you deal with it?
  • Can you name a time when you ran into a problem with a team project and how you and your team handled it?
  • When have you displayed leadership?
  • Describe one time when you failed and how you recovered and learned from it.

Just kind of went with the flow of the conversation – was really easy. Just mentioned a ton of experiences from my resume... my resume provided a good structure for the overall conversation.
