I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Clark Construction Group (Newport Beach, CA)
Interview
This is specifically for Altura Associates, a newer subsidiary of Clark Construction Group from Newport Beach CA. Screen call went fine. Second round consisted of take home questions and sample data, for answers used in the group video interview days later. Many questions from them about career objectives, strengths and about past experiences and handling pressure/deadlines/people. To be fair, it was a relaxed, more conversational interview on camera with younger/some older people. Few of the people added hidden tugs at you and your past (they knew me already) and made some negative remarks. For the people who've been there for 5 and more years, I'm not impressed with their professionalism. They tried to make it an inner circle feel within the group, and felt more like a construction mentality rather than an IT mentality. The dataset and type of work would be nothing worth adding to a resume in terms of experience - felt very old fashion, not relevant to today's world, infrastructure sounds outdated. A candidate knows when they won that type of interview round, and they decided to ghost me for a few weeks. They wrote a rejection email after a few of my calls were ignored. Again, the inner circle has to "like you" even when you know you won that round. Not a professional group, just an old boys club. Just another emotional decision based on surveillance/eavesdropping after that group interview, and not based on merit and performance.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Clark Construction Group in Feb 2026

So far I have had an initial screening call and that was pretty low stakes. Just the recruiter telling me about the role and the career progression. Next would be a video interview followed by an in-person interview.
