Applied online and got an email asking some questions about my interest in the job and my goals. Then went in for an in-person interview. After that, they told me to think about it for a day or two and let them know if I was still interested. The reason for the bad review is that the interviewer told me to follow up if I was interested, but then ignored my follow-up email about my consideration status. The interviewer was unprofessional and rude.

I had 3 interviews total. First was a phone call with a recruiter. Then, I had 2 in-person interviews. One of the in-person interviews was with the team at their office in Denver. The manager, who is based in Minnesota, met with me during a time he was scheduled to be in Denver. So the third interview was with the manager.

The interview process involves 3 rounds, though a really good candidate might get an offer in just one round. It starts with an introduction and experience discussion, then moves to IT requirements and the types of clients you've handled.
