Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was 3 separate interviews. They gave me the tour of the office on the first visit, and for each visit after that, the interview team kept growing. It felt like they were letting me into their family, something i had never seen in a previous company. They turned out to be the best employer i had ever experienced so far.
