For the HNTB interview, I had two rounds. The first round was pretty basic, focusing on my resume and expertise. They picked individual projects from my resume and asked about my specific contributions. The second round was a tough technical interview. They presented a questionnaire, and I had to answer each question within a set time. The first interview lasted 30 minutes, and the second was an hour.

HNTB's hiring process was quite organized. First, an HR Rep calls to get your info and have you complete a questionnaire. They then schedule an interview based on your availability. Once a time is set, they'll email you the details, time, and address. The interview itself was pretty straightforward, focusing on the qualifications they listed for the job.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • What are your future goals?
  • Do you see yourself working in transportation long-term?
