The first interview was a video call with the day shift manager. Then, a second interview took place with the day shift manager, the night shift manager, and the department head. They asked questions relevant to the job, but I felt my technical skills, especially in networking, were lacking. They also made me feel bad about not having more certifications besides Sec+.

I had a phone call screening, then a virtual interview with the department head, followed by a virtual interview with a panel of department heads. Overall, it was a really positive experience. All the interviews went well, and I thought the team was both friendly and professional.

You put your application in and a recruiter at the headquarters checks it out. It takes like 2-3 weeks to get reviewed. Then the applications go to the HR Manager and she checks your credit. If you pass the credit check, you get an interview. They ask a bunch of questions about the job requirements. It's pretty obvious who's gonna get the job though because the interviewers sound so bored and uninterested you know you're not gonna get picked. It seems like interviews are based on who they like.
