I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HDR (Akron, OH) in Jan 2015
Interview
the interview went smoothly, the interviewers were very friendly. The questions asked were related to the water classes taken at school (they were looking for a water intern). the interviewers started by describing the opening position and wanted from me to describe myself and show enthusiasm with the company and the opening position. 10 minutes in the end of the interview were left for questions.

I applied online. I interviewed at HDR (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2026
Interview
It was an online interview, and the interviewers were nice, asked me about my experiences on my resume, along with some simple technical questions related to my projects as well.
Overall, very professiona and conversational. There were lots of questions regarding skillsets, the previous jobs in the resume, school projects, the process of working, the starting date, etc. About an hour long, with a Q&A towards the end. It extended over the time period, also included a brief firm tour.
