Stantec Interior Designer interview questions

I applied online. You will get a call from a recruiter for a phone interview. Once you pass the phone interview, you will get an virtual interview and there will be an on-site interview .

First and second interviews were conducted within 3 weeks of each other. References were requested at the second interview - both were quite informal, and mainly conversational. Technical skill and culture fit seemed to be the most important to my interviewers. I was greeted by so many different people that it felt very comfortable to be there, and gave me insight into what working for Stantec might feel like. Lots of extroverted people! When reviewing my portfolio, there were few interruptions, and the interviewer seemed very serious. Over time, as the interview went on, she dropped the serious facade and became more relaxed and conversational. I wonder if they were trying to vet how I did well in stressful situations when people are low energy and/or unhappy.
