Behavioral
The interview process was pretty chill. I just had one phone chat where I talked about my resume and stuff with the people I'd be working for. Then they asked for three references. I didn't hear back for like 3 weeks. After that, I got an email asking me to apply for a job on their site, but no reason why. I did that and waited. About two weeks later, they sent me an offer letter.
