I applied online and then heard back about a week later. I had a recruiter call first, and then I met with the hiring manager. The whole thing took a month and a half.

Behavioral Technical Case

The interview process included an initial HR phone screener, followed by several more phone interviews and then a full day of in-person one-on-one meetings. Initially, they were focused on my technical skills and professional history, but by the in-person stage, the main focus shifted to assessing cultural fit. HR was pretty responsive and things moved along quickly.

Behavioral Presentation

It started with a phone screen with a recruiter, then there were two more interviews that included a presentation. The whole experience was pretty chill and the interviewers were friendly and laid-back. I usually get pretty stressed during interviews, but I actually felt more relaxed this time.
