I was contacted by a recruiter for the position. I was contacted via linkedin because the international team was looking to replace the person prior because they weren't doing a "great job performance". The overall interviewing process lasted a month because the hiring manager was not very communicative with the recruiter and I about delays and complications. I had a really good phone interview with the hiring manager. The situation ended up being really annoying and inconsiderate on Skidmore's end because they tried to rush me into the office to do the final interview. I told them my schedule and when I was available to come meet the team, only for them to disregard it and make me come in on a day that was not a good day for me. The interview was supposed to last an hour and a half to two hours but got cut short suddenly due to the team being "too busy to meet because of Chinese New Year festivities". I was there for a whopping 30mins. I ended up not getting the job because the team needed someone who was fluent in Mandarin Chinese (which they should have told me that from the beginning.) For such a well known and highly respected global firm, my experience with Skidmore left me with a bitter taste in my mouth because of how inconsiderate they were with my time.

I get the phone call for a first round interview 3 days after i submitted my CV, the HR manager look very polished , we talked about half an hour, very standard questions. The next day i get a call about a second interview with the techical director, i waited in the conference room for over 30 mins, but the interview itself went very smoothly, also standard questions.
