It was a smooth process with just 2 interviews. First, I met the regional manager, then the global manager. They got back to me within days after each interview. HR recruiter had great communication, even via text.

Behavioral Technical
First there was a phone interview where they discussed pay and offered a low salary. Then I had an in-person interview with 4 people. Upon entering the office, the lack of diversity was noticeable. One of the interviewers was from HR, which was unexpected. They expressed strong interest in me joining the team, but I haven't heard back in over 3 weeks. It's not worth your time.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process felt confusing. It was hard to connect with the HR person. After a phone interview with just a few behavioral questions, I had a technical interview. Both times, the interviewers seemed distracted, like they had other priorities. One team member looked unkempt, which didn't create a good impression of the company.

I applied online and got an email about a phone interview pretty quickly. The phone interview was all about my resume. Then I had an on-site interview where we talked about my skills and background, and then they made me an offer.
