The interview process went very smoothly. The interviewers were very nice and answered all of my questions. They responded with an offer very quickly, usually within a day or two, which was the fastest I've ever experienced.

I had a phone interview and then an in-person interview. The in-person included an editing test where I had to fix a really bad press release. Everyone was super nice the whole time.

I applied online on a Thursday and heard back from HR within two hours. I had a phone interview with HR that afternoon and by the end of the day, the hiring manager wanted to meet me on Monday. On Monday, I met with the hiring manager and team lead. We discussed my writing experience and my knowledge of the company. Then, I completed an hour-long writing test where I had to edit a press release with grammar and formatting issues. I got the job offer on Tuesday. The whole process took 5 days.
