I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Skanska (Washington, DC) in Jun 2015
Interview
Getting your resume in front of the right people is always the first step. I had a good phone interview follow up for about 1-hr. This was successful and followed by an in-person interview for a little over an hour. Then, I waited patiently and was offered a job within two months. Placing is always important and can be tricky in this industry, so I understand that to be why I waited for a while. Also, they are devoted to proper placement of current employees which I think is a strength of the company, but may make it harder to break into a specific office or job that you want from the outside.

First HR screening over the phone to go over the basics and expected compensations, and second round with the senior team members. I felt this whole process was pretty straightforward and easy to process. The whole hiring process took couple weeks.
