A recruiter from the company reached out to me after finding my resume on careerbuilder. The first interview was supposed to be 1:1, but it ended up being with the manager and the person directly above the role I applied for. They asked some basic 'tell me about yourself' questions, followed by some situational questions. The interviewers seemed really interested in the questions I asked. The atmosphere was friendly. The work culture seems to require a lot of personal responsibility, which could be a good thing.
