I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Perkins & Will
Interview
Referred by one of the friend who used to work there. And got a mail from them after a month for interview. Interview was very easy going and casual. They ask me to go threw my portfolio and explain them about my thought process for all projects.
The interviewers treated the interview more like a portfolio review, whereby after I finished walking them through a project they would point out all of the things they didn’t like or what they said couldn’t work. Would ask me if I “even considered” trying different things and were generally disrespectful during the interview, interjecting to tell me that my graphics were confusing or not good - I had previously worked in a different PW office and had never had such a poor interview experience.
Self introduction and got introduced to interview panelists. Walked through portfolio and introduced top 2 projects. Interviewers asked questions about design decisions, process, and software used. A Q&A question followed after about firm.

Question 1
Why do you want to intern at PW? What are you interests?
The interview process typically begins with an application review, followed by a phone or video screening. Next, candidates may face one or more in-person or virtual interviews, including technical or behavioral questions. It often concludes with reference checks and a final decision.
