QUESTION 5 OF 25

What does teamwork mean to you?

Burns & McDonnell has a very unique team culture. "We Are All Employee-Owners! Employee ownership is the common thread that unites us all to deliver remarkable projects. As partners, we are accountable to each other- so we work harder and think bigger for collective success." They also advertise that "competitiveness is one of our biggest assets, but we're not competing among colleagues. We're encouraging each other to provide better ideas and service to the client. We never stop- and we always deliver." So, when answering this question, be prepared to speak to how their culture aligns with your ideal team culture, and why it feels like a great fit for you.

"To me, teamwork means success. Whether the team was successful in delivering their outcomes comes in second to how well the team worked with and collaborated with each other. Did everyone feel good about working together and achieving what they set out to, and is everyone excited to get back at it? If the answer is yes, then it was a success, and that, to me, is teamwork."
