Lendlease Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Lendlease (Los Angeles, CA) in June 2016.

Interview

Very easy interview process. Only gripe I have is that it took 2 months and the recruiter never called me I had to call them. I had a current employee refer me so my experience was different than the recruiter contacting me or me applying without any sort of insider. I interviewed with 7 people from 2 different projects. Everyone was very nice and down to earth.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lendlease (Dunwoody, GA) in January 2013.

Interview

Interview process was very smooth. I did an initial phone screen, and then had to drive in on 2 separate occasions for interviews with 4 managers and 1 executive. This is not unusual for a management role. Everyone was very friendly and respectful. Great overall feel for the office and people.

Interview Questions

Reasons for Declining

They did not offer any work-from-home schedule, even partial, for supervisors (which is understandable). I was interviewing with other companies that did. Also, I was looking for something a bit smaller where I can be involved in more innovation (vs. operations). This has more to do with me, not the company. Lend Lease seems like a great company and a good group of people. I was very torn. I would recommend Lend Lease to others.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Lendlease in February 2019.

Interview

Had a brief telephone conversation with someone from the hiring team, was told they would get back to me in a few days, but they never did. Think it was because I didn't have a driving licence, but this wasn't stated on the job application and I never would have applied had it been. Overall a waste of time.

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lendlease.

Interview

Sidestepped HR by meeting with an exec who I heard was looking. Detailed reference check performed by this exec. Short interview that listed off expectations without waiting for detailed response on my part. Concern for longevity stressed - not using position to get experience and transfer to a different department. Entirely professional dress/atmosphere throughout the process; a conservative environment. There was never any doubt that the position was serious, even if the person filling it was not taken too seriously (meaning I was being offered an opportunity to jump when they said jump, not being offered an opportunity to be enriched personally as part of the team). This is strongly "us" and "them" culture between management and staff.

Applied via LinkedIn. Company recruiter then contacted me to schedule a phone screening. The recruiter was very thorough in what skills the position required and what would be expected of the candidate filling the position. After successfully completing the phone screening I was brought into the office the following week. I met with 3 individuals who worked on the team in which I was interviewing for.
