I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HDR in Apr 2021
Interview
The online submission form was straighforward and didn't require re-typing my whole resume. They regularly update the application status on their application portal and I was called and emailed almost immediately after passing the first screening. The interview went for about an hour and I was given a 3 day window when they would have an answer to me by. They met this predicted window and I received a phone call from HR and from one of the people who interviewed me to let me know I did not get the position. For a massive company, they went above and beyond to make the application process, interveiw, and notifcation process personal and timely. It felt good to be treated like a human in a brutal job market.

Interview
Was interviewed by two PMs and a PE. They mostly asked me questions from my resume. They also asked me a few technical questions. They were particularly interested in a task that I had done as an intern at another firm, which was then reviewed by the PE taking my interview.
