The interview process was really fast and went smoothly. It was a 3 step hiring process. First, there were 2 meetings with the hiring manager, and then you had an in-person interview at the location you're looking to work at.

The interview process was professional but also relaxed. I had a phone interview first, and then a week later, they scheduled a face-to-face interview. They let me know about the job offer early the week after the final interview, so I wasn't left hanging. The people were really nice and easy to talk to, and they kept the interview on track. They also gave me a lot of information about the company so I knew what I was getting into.
