I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SmithGroup
Interview
Was advised of the position online and by friends at the firm. First submitted all necessary information online then a fact sheet before setting up the first interview with a studio team. The interview was a new process based on a set behavioral questions. It was more discussion than Q and A or simply a presentation of ones portfolio. This was followed by an interview with a studio principal and then follow up with HR. I received a phone call after that notifying that I had been offered the job.

Question 1
Tell us about a moment of crisis and how you handled the situation.
that was good. they were 3 people and it was 30 min. they asked about everything and they seemed to be so good with me how ever they did not accept me for the position.
The interview process was for a entry level position and was fairly standard for an architecture firm. There was no hard-hitting question. I got the sense it was mostly to evaluate if you would fit the company culture. I did have to walk through my portfolio and give examples of problems solved, team issues, etc. on projects.
