Question 1
Standard behavioral questions like tell me a time you worked in a team, etc.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Jacobs (Washington, DC) in Feb 2021
Interview
Very simple interview, I was called by a project engineer on the team for an average interview, no difficult questions. I didn't hear anything back for 2 weeks until I was called again by a senior project engineer, interviewed for 20 minutes, where he hardly asked me any questions, and then he offered me the position.
Only bad part was that I was never emailed about the position, both of the phone calls were completely random with no heads up, I was laying in bed sleeping during the first one.
Overall, very easy interviews and very easy to talk to people.

Question 1
Mostly just personality questions, make sure to show interest and be yourself.
It was very relaxed and friendly. The interviewers were friendly and made it very easy to complete the 50 minutes interview process. It was 5 minutes of introduction, 30 minutes of questions and 15 minutes to ask my own questions. After that, I waited to receive the outcome.
