Operations Team Interview

Nov 13, 2015

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kohn Pedersen Fox (New York, NY)

Interview

Easy interview. Was interviewing for niche operations position. Interviewed with Senior Management. None of the interviewers had any idea how to run or improve their business, so they were extremely eager to work with someone with legitimate business experience. This would not be the typical case for an architectural candidate.
