I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hines
Interview
This was one of the easiest interview processes I've ever experienced. I never once felt nervous or like I was being judged. Ultimately, they look for a "good fit" in terms of personality and willingness to learn and grow. The initial phone interview was more formal, but the interviews with the actual hiring managers felt more like casual conversations.
My hiring process took a little longer than normal because of some HR shuffling that needed to occur before it was official, but I always got the sense that we were moving forward.

Question 1
You've never worked in this field of business before. Why are you interested in starting now?
Relaxed and personable. Normal interview that reviews your previous work history and goals for self. The set up was nice and each interviewer explained the job very well - expectations, a typical day, and perks.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hines in Nov 2021
Interview
They were very straight forward with the job position and what it entails. They mostly asked me if I took interest in the department I was in. And then they asked me about my work history.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hines (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
Met with 4 people at the first interview. Everyone was really nice and they were honest about the demands of the position. It was conversational and easy. Met 2 senior managers for the second interview. Again, it was a pretty easy conversational.
