The hiring process was super easy, fast, and smooth. It felt like they were designed to make sure you succeed. It was way shorter than expected, only needing one interview instead of four. Everyone I talked to was really friendly and nice to chat with, and we did it all in a short amount of time.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online and got an interview invite. I had a 30-minute chat with the hiring manager, but then things went silent. It's been two months, and I've heard nothing back from the hiring manager or recruiter, even though I've reached out multiple times. The conversation with the hiring manager seemed good, and they said I'd get feedback in two weeks, but that hasn't happened.
