Had a phone interview, then 2 manager interviews, and a final interview with the area partner. It was a pretty straightforward process overall, just be honest and know what you're getting into. Make sure you understand the hours and testing involved.

It was an in-person interview with a manager. They asked about my past work and about me to understand my personality. It wasn't a tough interview and felt comfortable. No tricky questions were asked, they just wanted to gauge my personality and professionalism.

The whole thing was pretty smooth and went by fast. They asked some really basic stuff, but you still needed to give solid answers. I felt ready for it, and it was nice to just chat a bit while we were interviewing. It was a good process, and I wasn't left waiting around.
