I applied online and heard back about two or three weeks later for an initial HR phone screen. Then I had a second interview with the VP two days later. They mentioned they were still interviewing others but gave me good feedback, saying I was a top candidate. Two weeks after that, I had two back-to-back interviews where they asked basic questions about my background and the company.

I met with the account manager I'd report to. We talked for about 45 minutes and they asked some pretty easy questions. It was mostly about my personality and how I interact with others. They mentioned I could learn and be trained on the actual job duties.
