Candidate-reported interview process

HR interviewed me for about 30 minutes. All the questions were general and straightforward. Be sure to have enough questions ready to ask them, as they might prompt you to inquire about things early on.

The interview was a 20 minute call on WebEx. We started with some self introduction and got into experiences with my resume and then some typical behavioural questions. The lady interviewing me was nice and she gave me feedback after upon my request. However, I would've appreciated more constructive feedback as opposed to only the things I did well on.

There were two rounds for the interview. I got to the second round but they never got back to me, which was a bummer. The first interview was pretty quick, maybe 15-20 minutes. It felt like they packed a lot of interviews into one day.
