Why Burns & McDonnell?

They want to know whether you want to work specifically for them, and why that is, as opposed to trying to land a job anywhere. So familiarize yourself with why Burns & McDonnell prides themselves as a great place to work, whether it's the employee rewards they've received, or that you'll have an opportunity to work "across disciplines and industries, integrated engineering services form our foundation. With a consistent focus on innovation, you'll design the systems and structures that build our world."

The biggest badge of honor Burns & McDonnell advertises is that they are a "100% employee-owned company. We make this place great! We get to shape and inform how our company operates because we're owners. This business decision makes us a great place to work for all and a remarkable place to build a career, and we invest in our most important resource-our people. But being employee-owners means we all foster a culture of ownership, where each of us has a vested stake in the success of our company and one another." Keep this in mind when answering this question.

"One of the main reasons I chose to pursue this opportunity here is the fact that the company is 100% employee-owned, that everyone is a stakeholder in the company's success, and everyone has a voice. Also, the opportunities for innovation and career advancement are huge draws for me."
