The hiring process took about a month. It included two panel interviews where they repeated questions they had already asked. They also asked me to prepare a question about managing a potential project, using info from their website. I had to submit writing samples and answer questions about my skills and experience. They didn't leave much time for my questions during the hour-long interviews, focusing mostly on theirs. For a senior role, the questions felt pretty basic.

A panel of managers will interview you. They use structured, scripted questions but keep the discussion pretty informal. It's mostly about your past jobs and roles. They'll ask about what you did and how you handled issues in previous positions. They also want to talk about your training, education, and any certifications you've earned that apply to this job.

The whole process felt really long and unclear. You have to wait forever to hear back about a decision. And if they do end up offering you the job, they usually lowball you on the salary and give you hardly any time to decide on a start date.
