Behavioral Presentation
So it was pretty straightforward. First, a recruiter call, then a call with the hiring Director. After that, I did a Face-to-Face with the hiring Director. The final step was flying out to Alabama for a Face-to-Face with Sr. Leadership. The offer came right after that last interview as I was waiting for my flight home. It was a quick process.

The interview process wasn't bad, although the salary offered was too low. The managers seemed nice. The regional manager was involved in the interviews, which followed a typical timeline. There was a question about drug use, and the future of the territory was uncertain.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
The interview process felt a bit all over the place. I had an initial screening call with two different people. Then it went quiet for a few weeks before I was asked for a face-to-face meeting the next day. This in-person interview was pretty relaxed and casual. The hiring manager mentioned everyone interviews differently, and her focus was on how well a candidate would fit with the current team. After almost two hours, I was invited for a third interview with the regional manager.
