Recruiting process is weird. Got a phone call from a recruiter and they said I'd be forwarded to the hiring manager, as that was the next step. Recruiter emailed the hiring manager out and said they'd reach out once he/she returned. I sent a follow up email and still no response from the recruiter or any feedback about the interview.

There were 2 parts to the interview process. First, I had a virtual interview over Zoom with 3 of the main managing people. Then, about 30 minutes after that, I had a phone interview with another managing person. After those interviews, all communication was through email and phone with the hiring specialist.

Behavioral Presentation

The process moved quickly, and it was very welcoming. I had two interviews, and I got an offer letter the day after the second one. I first encountered the company at a job fair, where they presented a compelling vision of what they're looking for and what makes the team appealing. It was a great process, and I even got to meet the VP during my second interview, which was fantastic as most companies don't let you meet VPs and owners.

The interview process was really welcoming and made me feel comfortable. It felt very conversational because the interviewers were so personable, even though they asked relevant corporate interview questions. I felt very at ease throughout.
