Interview
I applied in September, had the first interview in October and the second one in November, followed by a skills assessment.
Got an offer by the end of November to start in January.
The team was very nice throughout the process! During both the interviews the team first introduced themselves and then started to ask questions about me.
The first interview was about getting to know me and my professional path, and why I want to work there.
The second one was about my portfolio I went through a couple of projects and the role I played in every team that carried out each project.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Gensler (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
The interview went smoothly overall, but the interviewer took long pauses before asking each question. Those pauses created several awkward moments of silence, making the conversation feel slower and less natural.
introduce portfolio and ask questions about your work. Do you have any onsite experience. What would you like to learnt from us. The questions are general ones for an interview.
I had 1 interview with the design director and design manager. It was straightforward and they asked about my skills and experience. It did not seem as hard as I thought it would be.
