The interview process was good, though it felt a bit like an old boys club. It started with an interview with the manager, followed by a second interview with the VP. They decided on a candidate quickly. The whole thing wrapped up in about a week.

After what seemed like a great interview, I did not hear back, even though I had personal connections within the firm and followed up twice. I later found out that another coworker of mine got the job, but they were fired not too long after.

Behavioral Technical
The interview was very casual and friendly. It became clear that the company wasn't as progressive as they seem online. The teams seemed a bit siloed; the interiors team uses AutoCAD, while the architecture teams use Revit. There doesn't seem to be flexibility for remote work for people with families or needing different schedules, which is odd given how much time is spent on the computer, something that can easily be done from home. There were also other hints that made me think the company culture is only superficially modern.

I had a phone interview, then a skills test, and finally a group interview. Basic programming questions were asked, but they seemed more focused on whether I was a good personality fit for the team. The group interview had the whole department there. Honestly, the interview process was better organized than the actual job.
