3 rounds of interviews for this role, what a joke. They kept asking the same questions again and again. The last round had two interviewers, really intimidating. It wasn't even worth the pay, and they could've done fewer interviews. You'd think it was a CEO role with how they acted, but it's just customer service. Also, a video interview is required before they even consider you. So, 4 interviews in total, and they hired someone else.

Applied on the website, then got a call from the hiring manager to schedule an interview. The interview was a video call with two managers. They texted to make sure I got the video invite email before the interview day. After the offer, I got an email with instructions for the background check and other pre-hire documents. I appreciated having one main contact, Ryan, who was responsive and helpful with questions.

The whole interview process can take around a month. You'll do a self-interview with some questions they provide, and then send in your recorded answers. It was kinda tough but also pretty easy to get hired.

- Can you explain what going above and beyond means to you?
