Arcadis interview questions

First, phone screening by the HR. Last for 11min with simple and typical interview questions, such as why do you apply, what's your career plan. Then, only several days later, I was informed for a phone interview with the recruiting team. It lasted 30 min, 3 interviewers. Most of the questions are based on my resume. Besides, they asked something like what's the difference between working for government agency and company. Again, less than one week I was at the on-site interview which should be the last round for this opening. I was interviewed by 6-7 people at that office, through office head and staff engineer. At the end, the chief said something about comforting me. Then I realized I was there maybe just to be a sacrifice for there hiring ppl ratio. They must already had someone on hand by then. Disappointed. But still, it's a good experience.

Friend sent me open position - I sent my resume directly to his supervisor, who called within a day. Interviewed with two supervisors (one was an admin supv, one was task/project supv for the dept). They asked general questions about my resume / skills - I felt like the task/project supv tried to trip me up about one of my previous positions but I answered to the best of my ability. Interview lasted 30 minutes; the admin supv took me through a short tour of the cubical jungle. I sent thank yous the next day. Got a follow-up call from my friend telling me that for corporate reasons, I had to submit through official channels so that they could move the paperwork through; did so and they called me with a formal offer within a week.
