I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mortenson (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2014
Interview
Met with an on campus recruiter who selected me for a second round of interviews. The second round took place about a month after the initial interview. The company flew about 35 of us to Minneapolis and from what I heard they did the same for three other groups the following weeks. There it was a 2 day process, the first being informational meetings, Q/A sessions, and meet and greets. The second day was a half day of interviews. 3 interviews that took a little less than an hour each, all with different operating groups.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mortenson in Mar 2026
Interview
Had an interview with a project manager. They are all behavior questions, and the interview process felt like having a conversation rather than being interviewed. Received interesting answers from the project manager about his work at Mortenson.
The interview was one on one with a project manager. They explained the role that I was applying for, then I talked through my resume and how it was applicable to the position.
