The hiring process from start to finish can take up to six weeks, mainly due to our People Services Department's procedures. After you apply online, there's a phone interview, followed by an interview with the hiring team. Even after that, it might take another two weeks to get an offer out to the candidate.

- I don't know what questions are asked during the phone interview because People Services handles them, not the hiring manager.

I applied online and got a call the very next day to schedule a phone interview. They asked some really weird, old-school questions, like 'what's your favorite history icon and why?'. The whole interview felt a bit strange and generic. We didn't really connect, and even though I sent a thank you email, I never heard back.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Tell me about your favorite history icon and explain your choice.
