The interview process was pretty chill. It was just two interviews: a quick chat with HR and then another one with three people from the team. Got a verbal offer like a week after the interviews.

I applied and the talent acquisition team reached out for an initial screening. The recruiter was very helpful and walked me through the role, asking about my background and experience related to the job description. About a week later, I was invited for a second interview with senior staff. This interview was brief, lasting just over 30 minutes, and focused on detailed questions about the role's requirements. Although more formal, the senior staff seemed to be having a conversation to understand my personality and how I'd fit with the team and clients. It was a very transparent and positive interview experience.

The interview process was quick and gave a good overview of how the company operates. I spoke with some of the team members to sort out the hiring paperwork and other administrative stuff. Everyone was really nice and helpful.

I met with the Proposal Manager and another proposal writer at Northside Social in Arlington. Then we moved to Silver Diner for a quieter setting. Both of them had been at PW for less than a year. It was a relaxed meeting. They were very personable and professional. They have high performance standards and seem to value honest, open communication and teamwork. It was impressive.
