I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Coffman Engineers
Interview
The process was great, very efficient and comfortable. I applied, was called the following business day, and interviewed the day after. The process began with the woman whose position I would be replacing; she was super welcoming and inviting. The questions she asked ranged from run-of-the-mill background to more personal questions to help gauge if I’d be a good fit for company culture. Afterwards we were joined by other senior staff members.
The biggest impression on me throughout the interview was how much these people loved the company. They spoke very sincerely of how highly they thought of the leadership. And it wasn’t a show; to this day (spoiler: I took the job) the employees express almost daily the great appreciation they have for Coffman Engineers.
The remainder of the interview went quickly. I don’t feel like I spoke much during the last portion, it was more the principal relaying information of the firm. It was a great introduction to Coffman.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Coffman Engineers (Anchorage, AK) in Jul 2019
Interview
Very Convenient and Thorough. I moved to Anchorage from the lower 48, which made me wonder if it would be more difficult to find work immediately. Coffman made me feel like this was not an issue in the slightest. I was interviewed by the HR Representative and the Department manager at Coffman in Anchorage. The HR gal is one of the best I have ever met. Extremely;y knowledgeable. The interview was very comfortable and friendly. They were up front about what expectations were and what the company strategy and plan is. I enjoyed the interview greatly.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Coffman Engineers (Bozeman, MT) in May 2017
Interview
Coffman has an extended interview process, but I was told upfront that it would be lengthy and was given a timetable of when to expect follow-up and an answer. I had 2 interviews in which I was given a good description of what my responsibilities would be. I was given the opportunity to ask questions and was also given a good description of what the company did. Since I'd never worked with engineers before I liked that they followed through and asked what my experience was but that they also reassured me that I didn't need an engineering-office background. I also remember it being one of the most casual and comfortable interviews I'd ever been to. Right off the bat I could tell that the 2 managers I was seeing were down to earth guys. They shared their hobbies with me and their weekend plans. I felt comfortable and welcomed.

Question 1
They asked me pretty standard questions:
What is your background in? Were there any special skills I could bring to the table? Did I enjoy fast-paced environments? How did I feel about customer service? Why did I want to leave my current job? When could I start?
