2 steps 1 technical interview ( over your CV and project you have been involved in) with 2 engineers mid-junior level and another one with more senior engineers conversation for the second round which is less technical

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to solve a problem on your own. How did you approach it?
Questions that were directed in a way to see how much you knew about engineering. I think as long as you practice and refresh what youve learned and articulate your projects you will be fine
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HDR (Omaha, NE) in July 2022
Interview
Informal interview with a senior executive manager. Off site. Very casual. The interviewer had a personality that he was better than you. He was certainly enjoying the fact that he had all the control.

Question 1
Interviewer made the statement "We do not hire Managers from outside the company. You can start at a lower position and work up." Later on I found out that they hired another person in another leadership role from outside the company.
