I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Whiting-Turner in Apr 2015
Interview
Got an email from the University saying Whiting-Turner is coming for an info session. Went over, watched their presentation, talked to the recruiter, and submitted resume. After a week, received an email from the recruiter asking to schedule an interview. The interview was held at the Career Center and consisted of typical questions such as Why Whiting-Turner? etc. After about another week, I was contacted by the recruiter again to come into their office for a second interview. The interview process took three hours and was spent one hour per Project Manager. The questions were somewhat challenging compared to the first interview. They asked What I would do under this situation? etc. Anyways, a week after an unorthodox interview, I was given an offer.

I applied online. I interviewed at Whiting-Turner (Woodbury, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
Was contacted 2 years after applying. It was a 4 hours interview process. Firstly, the VP gave us a presentation on the company's history, their service, and portfolio of their work. Then they conducted 1:1 interview with 3 employees at various levels. The interviews were very casual and aimed at a conversations type of interview. Alot of behavioral types of questions involving your experience. Some of the question they asked were repeats of the other interviewers, which made the later interviews stale and repetitive. Alot of young workers, which made it easier to connect with. Then they offered lunch at the break room, where you talk with other candidates and employees. Lastly, the VP gave the last presentation on benefits.
