I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Perkins & Will (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Timeline of previous interviews were between an hour or more. They were pleasant, relaxed and every person participating of the interview process was gracious and were listening to what I had to share with them. The experience I had at Perkins and Will (Seattle office) was a complete nightmare. It took less than 30 minutes to talk and review my portfolio. Their attitude was beyond egocentric. There were two senior associates, one of them was a complete _____, the second was descent with me. I was treated like... What are you doing here??? Why are we wasting our time interviewing you?! Five minutes after the interviewed I was wondering why I wanted to work for them.
This is a message to P+W -- next time you invite someone to interview in your office- make the time to carefully review resume and portfolio. It gave me the impression that neither of you took the time to be familiar with the interviewee.
The only thing I regret was not to get an offer to reject it. If you treat people poorly in an interview... I don't want to imagine how employees are treated there. No thank you!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Perkins & Will (Durham, NC) in Mar 2019
Interview
After submitting my application I received an email to schedule an interview. The HR rep was very accommodating in asking whether I wanted to schedule a test session as the interview was via skype. She also made a point to inform me before hand who I would be interviewing with which was extremely helpful for me. During the actual interview there were 4 people present and after hearing about each of them I was asked to tell them about myself and walk them through my portfolio. Following this I was asked a few more questions and was able to ask them questions as well. The interview was around 1hr and 30min.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Perkins & Will (Miami, FL) in Mar 2019
Interview
I received an email from HR to schedule a time and date for the interview. After the date was scheduled I went in person to the interview. The process took around 3 weeks.
Not a good interviewer. Never asked about future plans and what I would like to get out of the job. Was very standoffish when I asked about benefits and compensation.
