The interview was virtual and it was easy going. It lasted maybe 20-30 minutes and the questions were mostly scenario based. I got an offer letter the next day.

The interview was very short and unpleasant. When I asked about company morale, employee turnover, and some events from 2020, the interviewer didn't have answers and was quite rude. They ended the interview abruptly after only 3 minutes.

I applied in July, and heard back for an interview in October. Although I applied for a role in Queens, I was redirected to Brooklyn, which is quite far from Long Island. The HR personnel were pleasant, but I also had a subsequent interview with the Case Manager supervisor on the same day, and she came across as a bit impolite.

It was a pretty straightforward group interview with lengthy questions, and even though I arrived about 5 minutes late, I was hired on the spot. The main office is located in Syosset, Long Island. Just make sure your resume is current before you go.
