First, I had a recruiter screening interview. Then, a security person called to verify my eligibility for security clearance. About a week later, I interviewed with a senior engineer and a recently hired engineer. I received an offer the day after my interview.

The interview was really relaxed. The person interviewing me wasn't a super experienced interviewer but tried her best. She was nice and professional, just seemed a bit unsure, which is understandable since she was probably new to it. No real issues though, and it wasn't HR. It seemed like someone who actually does the job was interviewing me.

So, the interview process was kinda wild. It felt like a scene from a spy movie, you know, like good cop, bad cop at a black ops site. I arrived at this place that looked like an abandoned data center. The glass doors were locked, and I waited there for over 30 minutes with no one showing up. I was about to head back to my car when I got a call telling me they were ready and I should walk back to the entrance.
