The interview process involved multiple rounds with a fair bit of waiting. The people were nice, but there wasn't much communication between interviewers, and it didn't seem like they paid much attention to my resume. Overall, it was pretty standard and about what I expected.

I went to the store for a casual chat about my resume and open positions. It took about 30 minutes. I asked about diversity and how many women work there. The interviewer asked me why I was asking, and I explained that in this male-dominated field, I wanted to gauge potential for growth. The interviewer admitted the company has a sexist past, but seemed surprised by my question. This made me feel like my presence might be questioned if hired. While this isn't just about the interviewer, it reflects the company's culture. The company could improve inclusion through diverse staff, social media representation, and better interview training. I was offered a second interview but declined.

Had a Google Hangouts call where we chatted about my resume, past experiences, and what would be expected of me in the role. It was pretty straightforward and to the point. After the interview, I got hired and started my orientation a week later, which was about 2 days long.

I reached out about the internship opportunity through the website. The informational phone call I had ended up being an internship offer. The conversation was really relaxed and informal. It wasn't stressful at all.
