The interview was quick, so use the time wisely to talk about yourself. It was 30 minutes total and straightforward. First, a standard 'tell us about yourself.' Then, I presented two projects from my portfolio, and they asked detailed questions about them and my specific role. They also discussed their firm and the role I would take on. I met with two associates. Unlike corporate firms like SOM, they didn't offer a tour.

I emailed a partner my application because I got his contact through a professor. He asked my professor for a recommendation letter for me, but my professor didn't respond. I had an interview on skype on a Wednesday, and it went well. The next day I received an email with a job offer and a request to start on Monday, in another country several hours away from my current residence. I said yes and started. I think this process is quite common, people are often asked to start immediately.
