Application
I applied through university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at DeSimone Consulting Engineers in Apr 2024
Interview
I met the company over a career fair and after a couple of email exchanges was able to interview 1:1 with the associate and with HR. My overall recruitment process was smooth and enjoyable. Tess from HR was very communicative throughout the process, ensuring that I got to know more about the company.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DeSimone Consulting Engineers (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview was easy, everything flowed well.
They never called me to give me any update on the job application.
I had to write to them and they told me that I was not chosen.
I have about 90% of the qualifications needed for the position they were offering.
The reasons why I believe they did not call me were the following:
1)I asked them for a reasonable salary for my years of experience, but this company, according to their ads (Indeed and LinkedIn), pays very lower salaries in the current engineering market (they want to pay a mid level $75,000) in cities where the cost of living is expensive.
2) I wear earrings, I think they don't like having a person like that in their company (I have been in many other companies and this has never been a problem)
Avoid these type of companies, they are a huge red flag for the professional growth of any engineer.
