General Architecture Position Interview

Feb 6, 2016

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HGA (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2012

Interview

One hour long interview with 2 people during lunch time. We had sandwiches and chips. The questions were pretty basic. I don't remember being asked anything too difficult. I brought my portfolio of previous work to review. They asked general questions about previous projects, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Average interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HGA (Milwaukee, WI) in Apr 2015

Interview

They cancelled the original interview date because they "forgot" to mark their calendars. Interview was scheduled for 2 hours with 5 people. One person did not attend. The interview process started 20 minutes late. The interview was going well but they concluded by saying that I wasn't "qualified" for the position and would take too many years of training. Ironically I've been a PA for over 10 years; not qualified???
