TYLin Structural Engineer interview questions

The interview process involved meeting several of the staff including management and future colleagues. Standard question were asked regarding design experience, construction experience, university classes taken, software used, etc. Additionally, there were several structural analysis problems made up on the spot. The interview went in depth to test your structural analysis skills to confirm you know the basics and to see how you approach the problem.

Interview started about 30 minutes late. Interviewer was in the middle of conference calls. Came out to tell me he was running late. When we finally sat down he started asking very general questions about myself. Said the goal was to just see what I was like in person. Before things got too underway he was called into another meeting which lasted about 15 more minutes. Following our meeting the interview didn't show me around the office or introduce me to other employees. During the interview he said he was going to call me later that day to ask some more in depth questions and suggested an offer will be given and we agreed upon a salary. Phone call was pretty standard, asked questions about my experience in the design world. A few days later I sent am email asking to come back and view the office as well as meet other employees, however there was no response. Not long after I was sent an offer but it was roughly 25% lower than what we agreed upon during the interview.
