I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Hines (New York, NY) in Sept 2021
Interview
I interviewed for the Staff Accountant position in the NYC location with Vida Barco. The company had me do multiple rounds of video interviews (3) which I feel were fairly simple as I already had property management experience and understood the terminology in the industry. However, this company completely wasted my time by saying they will give me an update within a week of my last interview after I followed up with them, but it has been 3 weeks so far without a response. I would not recommend this company as they don't even seem to value potential candidates.

Interview
I heard nothing but amazing things about working for Hines from friends and family. My two interviews with the smaller subsidiary for the position were very laid back, easy, and friendly. I was genuinely looking forward to the job, coworkers, and managers.
I had a family tragedy come up between the first and second interviews, which put a lot of uncertainty in my life. I feel like I was extremely transparent with the recruiter (that worked for Hines Central - Global) of my situation, and I would absolutely keep him up to date. However, he suddenly became very direct, asking me if this position is what I really wanted, he needs to know that, or I need to make other decisions because he has other candidates on the list. If this is how Hines handles personal issues, this company is not for me.
Not what I would consider a "Hines" experience by any means. In the end, I was relieved I was not offered the position.

Interview
Someone scheduled a phone interview with me ask about my previous experience. The interviewer interrupted my answers a few times. At the end of the interview the interviewer told me that they mistakenly applied my information and thought that I was applying for another position which I am not interested in. They said I am not qualified for the Staff Accountant position that I originally applied for and ended the call quickly.
