      Engineer Interview

      25 Oct 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Philadelphia, PA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Septa (Philadelphia, PA)

      Interview

      This is for a SAM position. I applied on their website and was contacted by one of their internal recruiters a month later. We set up an interview for two weeks later. The interview was with 3 panelists. This is typical of government organizations. It took about 6 weeks to get back to me after the interview. It took another 6 weeks for background check, offer letter and drug testing. The one thing that stood out to me is that they ask you for your two most recent pay stubs. They use that calculate their initial offer. I was told they do not negotiate their initial offer, either take it or leave it. I accepted due to them having some of the best benefits in the industry and being able to work in downtown Philly.
