I applied online. I interviewed at HOK (Salt Lake City, UT) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process felt very natural and more like a conversation than a scripted interview. The interviewers were great but it was hard to get all my questions in the amount of time. I thought I would make it to a second interview to ask more questions but I did not get a second interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at HOK
Interview
One virtual call followed by one in person meeting . Great people to be friends with. Office seems disorganized. The reviews were late to the meeting and had to leave early. When I arrived I was lost and there were people but no one could help me.
