Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at HDR.
Architect
It was quite challenging because although the job was posted in English, the interviews were primarily conducted in German, and the interviewers had limited English proficiency. On the other hand, the hiring process moved very quickly.
- Can you list the programs you've worked with and describe their functionalities?
- Could you walk me through the functions of the programs you have used?
Architectural Designer
The interviews were great, but they weren't able to set a time for the interview and rescheduled it several times, and it took more than 3 months. So, I found another job.
- Why do you want to work at HDR?
- What's prompting your departure from your current role?
- Can you share your professional background?
Architectural Designer
They were really friendly and seemed genuinely interested in learning more about me. They were excited to talk with me and were very approachable, and I felt like they wanted to stay connected. It left a great impression on me. Having some ideas about the sectors you're interested in working in might help the conversation flow better.
- Could you discuss your portfolio and what you're hoping to work on?
- How do you envision yourself fitting into our firm?
