I applied in NYC.It took about a week after I applied to get an in person interview. It was very awkward and unprofessional because by their body language that they didn’t want to hire you. This happened before they asked the first question. Speaking of questions, the potential manager was unprepared and didn’t even have any questions for me to ask. Her boss was asking the questions but she was talking over me when I answered. The worst thing was that the two lady were having a separate conversation about the people they knew in my previous firm. “Oh this engineer is working here now, have you talked to him? Oh how’s he doing”. As we all know everyone knows each other from other firms. It was awkward and uncomfortable. They were absolutely rude and it was a waste of time.

I recently had the opportunity to interview with Hardstey & Hanover, and overall, it was a positive experience. The interview process was smooth, and the principals were easy to talk to, making me feel comfortable from the start. Although I ultimately accepted another position, I found Hardstey & Hanover to be an appealing company with an exciting role on offer. Throughout the interview, I had the chance to interact with the principals, and they impressed me with their approachability and openness. They created a welcoming environment that allowed me to express myself confidently and showcase my skills and experiences. Their friendly demeanor made the conversation flow naturally, and it was evident that they value effective communication within their organization.
