I applied and then spoke with HR, which was followed by a conversation with the hiring manager. After that, a panel was set up for my interviews. All the interviews were one-on-one, and they were spread out over six different sessions. It was a really good interview process, with input from a lot of people in different roles at the company.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
The hiring process for this Solutions Engineer job was pretty long, but not too bad. I talked to seven different people, and each one had a unique role and asked really specific questions related to their job, so there wasn't much repetition. It was cool because I got to meet some of the people I'd be working with, which helped me see if we'd get along. All in all, it was a good and thorough process for both me and the company.
