The interview was off-site with senior staff. It was a casual discussion aimed at recruiting me. The process involved multiple interviews to determine the compensation package, which made progress slow.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The first interview was with an Associate and a Partner. The Partner wasn't super friendly, but the Associate was, and overall it was a good experience. The interview room felt more like a lawyer's office than an architect's. A few weeks later, I had my second interview, but the Senior Principal didn't show up, so I ended up talking with two junior people instead. They seemed unprepared, and I waited in the lobby for 45 minutes, which felt really unprofessional.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. They talked about their immediate needs and asked me about my past work experience. We also had a lot of conversation about who each of us was as people.
