I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPFF (Portland, OR)
Interview
Didn't ask many questions at all, just let me get to know them. The interview was fairly informal and led by engineers rather than hiring managers. They were not open to virtual work.
They made me meet them in a cafe downtown. I didn't go into the office. They were underprepared. If you're going to make me come downtown, at least let me see the office. They were off-putting from the start.
The process was simple and very personable, I felt very comfortable from the start. The technical questions were smartly positioned to engage in conversation. They are a friendly, courteous and professional group. The interviewer was very knowledgeable about the local construction industry.
The interview questions were easy but the interviewer seemed a bit rude and overall bored with the process. The office also seemed empty and had a very lonely atmosphere. Overall, didn't seem like a nice or healthy place work.
