The interview process was pretty straightforward with no curveballs. Upon arrival, I took a short quiz with two questions. Afterward, I met with two associates to discuss my qualifications and the company culture. They asked a few technical questions, possibly more than usual due to my experience. We also discussed the office's functioning, integrated project delivery systems, and collaboration among staff and with clients. Finally, I spoke with an employee and toured the office.

I applied online and they got in touch really fast to set up a phone interview. This call was mostly about my school background and any internships I'd done. It felt like they just wanted to get a sense of me personally and see how serious I was about them, not just any company. After that, they invited me to come in for an in-person interview at their office. I met with several people who were at different levels in the company, and we talked a lot about my past experiences and what they're currently working on. Overall, the whole thing was great and made me really excited about the possibility of working there.

The whole interview process took about a month and a half. There were two interviews, each about an hour long. The first one was on Zoom with a principal from the office and the hiring manager. It was more personal, covering QA/QC, going over my job experience, why I was interested, and my goals. The second interview was also on Zoom with an associate and a senior engineer. They asked about my background and some design-related questions.
