Harris Associates Interview Questions
& Process

I think that the interview process at Harris is semi difficult. The intial interview is more of a screen and then you talk to some more people. I thinik it helps if you go ot the university of chicago

The interview process was too convoluted. You get screened by the recruiter on a 30 minute call, get a 1 on 1 30 minute interview with the hiring manager, move on to a "panel interview" (not really a panel, you had to interview with 3 people individually for 30 minutes and the interviews occurred back to back, instead of a singular meeting with all 3). Finally, you do one more interview in office. Its too much. if you have to interview 6 times that means the hiring manager and team have no idea as to what they want. Its a shame because i liked the hiring manager and the role, but you quickly get interview fatigue when there are so many you have to somehow convince.

I was initially contacted by Harris through my recruiter. Having gone through many interviews and received offers before, I'm quite familiar with the process. I was employed and not actively seeking a new role, but due to positive reviews and my recruiter's persuasion, I decided to proceed. The first stage involved meeting two engineers who asked a range of questions covering C#, databases, MVC, and exception handling. Following that, I had a 45-minute meeting with a leader on a separate day. Things then slowed down, and I reached out to my recruiter to keep the process moving, as I prefer organization. The recruiter convinced me to continue, and I then met with another leader on the team. The interviews seemed fine up to this point. The final interview was scheduled with yet another leader, but surprisingly, no one showed up, and there was no cancellation notice. This lack of consideration for my time was a very unprofessional way to end the interview process, and I regret the time I invested. While the people seemed nice, I question the company culture based on this experience. I'm glad it ended this way, and I wonder about the source of those positive reviews that initially drew me in. I hope people stop misrepresenting experiences.

Got contacted by a recruiter for this role. Started with a phone screen, then a call with the hiring manager. After that, I had three video interviews, and things seemed to go well. Then, there was silence for six weeks. After that, I had an all-day onsite interview. Again, silence for another six weeks. I was completely ghosted, no rejection email, no updates, nothing. The job kept getting reposted during this whole time. The people were nice, but honestly, this was the worst and least communicative process I've ever been through, and it was with a recruiter they've used before. I can't even imagine how it would be without one. I'd say stay away unless you're prepared for no information, no updates, and very slow or no decision-making.
