First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at WXY Architecture + Urban Design.
Architectural Intern
The interviewer was very personable and wanted to understand me better to see if my skills and interests would fit with what the firm needs. We mostly talked about the projects in my portfolio.
- What is your motivation for wanting to join WXY?
- Could you describe your previous work experience?
- What contributions do you envision making to our studio?
Intern
The interview process started with a phone call, and then I was invited for an in-person interview. While I enjoyed speaking with the person on the phone, the in-office interviewer was a bit off-putting. They gave me a substantial GIS assignment as part of the interview process. Honestly, it felt more like I was doing their work for free rather than being evaluated. It was a really extensive task, more than I've ever had to do for an interview. To top it off, I never heard back from them, not even a follow-up. I even tried to reach out myself, thinking maybe it wasn't a good fit and I'd withdraw, but still, not a word – not even a polite rejection.
- Can you tell me about your experience?
- What are you interested in?
- What are your strengths?
Architectural Designer
The process was pretty easy and nice, HR was super responsive before the interview. It was about an hour long and I talked to HR and a director. We discussed the firm's culture, its values, and shared some stories. I followed up after the interview but never heard back.
- What makes you want to join this company?
Architectural Assistant
It felt more like a chat than an interview. They seemed to want to see if I'd vibe with the team. Just typical questions about what I've done before and what I'm into.
- Can you tell me about your previous work and what you enjoy doing?
- Could you take me through your portfolio?
- What do you consider your strengths and weaknesses to be?
