I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KBR (Kïhei, HI) in Jan 2023
Interview
Started off with a quick chat with the recruiter, he gave me an overview of the company/position and the next steps in the process. I then had a ~40 minute interview with 5 people a few days later. I wasn't asked a single technical question, only behavioral/resume/personal questions. Everyone was super friendly and the interview was painless. A few days later, I was rejected. Pretty surprised and extremely disappointed.
