My interview experience with Lennar was professional but ultimately frustrating. Everyone I spoke with was polite and respectful, including HR, the IT Director, and the technical team.
However, the process took much longer than originally indicated. It lasted over a month and included multiple rounds: an HR screening, an interview with the IT Department Director, and a final panel with team members from engineering and architecture. The waiting time between stages felt unusually long and made the process more exhausting than expected.
Lennar is not a technology company, and that seemed reflected in the structure of the IT organization, which appeared relatively small. There also seems to be a strong interest in adopting AI across the business, but it gave the impression that many non-technical stakeholders want to influence technical decisions. It will be interesting to see how that develops over time.
Another concern was the sense of instability, especially with recent layoffs. For candidates looking for strong career growth, skill development, and long-term stability, this may not be the ideal environment.
Overall, the people were kind and professional, but the lengthy process and concerns about stability made the experience less positive than expected.
