It was one interview with the director. Very transparent and enjoyable. They assessed my communication skills and didn't judge my lack of experience in the field but rather my desire for professional development.

Technical Behavioral
This was a tough 30-minute phone interview for an entry-level job, where they were looking for experience. The interviewer, calling from California, was nice. She used my resume and experiences to see how I could apply them in this work environment and position. There's a training program, but they still need Excel experience. I didn't pass this first interview, so I'm not sure what the next interview would be like.

The interview process was very extensive and thorough. It was a 6-step process, which sometimes branched out to a few extra steps. It was very organized and secretive. I had to take various different psychological tests. I was told the complete process would take up to 6 months.
