It was a casual one interview, with some semi inappropriate language. It felt like an assessment of character, to be honest. It seems pretty laid back if that's what you're looking for. The interviewer was nice and friendly, and had been with the park for a long time, which really showed.

I found the posting online and applied through the website, submitting my resume and cover letter. Soon after, I received an email requesting a phone interview. I interviewed with one person for the position. I don't remember the questions very well, but they were mostly about my background and why I applied. I was notified of the results within a few days. The whole process was pretty easy.

Got a call to set up an interview shortly after applying. Then, I had an interview with 3 people from the team all at once. I was asked to present a past project and give an overview. They also tested my Excel skills and my approach to looking at data.
