So first, there was a phone call with the recruiter. Then, I went in person to interview with the main manager. After that, I had another in-person interview, this time with three different managers. Then there was a really thorough background and reference check, and it took a few different people to approve the offer.

The hiring process was really thorough, starting from the first call right up to day one. The recruiter was professional and really sold the company. It began with a quick phone interview, then an in-person meeting. After the initial call, I had to complete a substantial set of competency tests. This part was quick and accurate. An interview was scheduled within days of the phone interview and after I passed the tests. I got an email with exact details on parking, entry, who to ask for, and who I'd meet. In my interview, I met three team members all in one go. They were all professional during the interview. After it was done, I got a call in a few days saying they wanted to offer me the job, pending positive background, credit, and reference checks. It's a really thorough background and reference check process. It shows they really want the best!

The interview process was really disappointing. It took way too long. The recruiter wasn't very proactive, and I had to call several times without getting a callback. There were also issues with the hiring process because of nepotism. It was hard to feel excited about starting the job.
