Spoke with two senior engineers, one by phone and then one on site. Second interview also included a full tour.
In both interviews, the primary focus was my fit in terms of skills and personality with their company. Technically, the interviews were informal since they hadn't yet determined their need for a new hire, but I appreciated their interest in my resume and their willingness to reach out quickly and get some additional information. We discussed both my M.S. and Ph.D. research in detail. Overall, I had a very favorable impression of people at Dominion, the resources they had available to address their projects, and the work environment.
