Candidate-reported interview process

The process was easy. They asked about my previous experience and what I would do in certain situations. It moved pretty quickly and I got an offer not long after. There was also a virtue interview.

The interview process was quick and simple, with basic questions. They typically have you interview with two managers in separate sessions. However, if they're impressed with you, they might interview you all at once.

I talked with a manager about what was expected of me at the front end. Then I was told I would have to complete some training. They didn't really ask me too many questions.
