It was a pretty standard interview process. I met with a few of the current employees at their office. It would've been better to meet with someone from the specific division I was applying to, as teams and specialties can really differ.

Behavioral Technical
I was contacted via email for an interview. The people I met were really nice. It's important to figure out who the hiring manager is. The design principal wasn't there for my interview. It seemed like they were more interested in candidates who could handle construction documents rather than purely design work. Overall, I had a good impression of this firm.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you clarify who is the decision maker and what skills are they seeking?
- Are you looking for someone who can do construction documents more than design?

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It wasn't too intense, and it took about two weeks from the initial email to the interview itself. I spoke with three people who were generally very nice. We talked about my portfolio, and they seemed interested in my design intentions. The interview lasted around an hour, and then I got a tour of the office. Things went well, but they didn't end up offering me a position because they didn't have any openings for my role at the time.
