The interview lasted about 45 minutes and involved typical customer service-style questions. It was a panel interview where answers were graded. I got a rejection email afterward, but it wasn't a tough process overall, though no offer was made.

So basically, after you apply, you wait about 3 weeks, and then they'll email you to set up a time for an interview. You get to pick from a lot of different times. When you get there, you check in at the front desk, and they'll lead you to where you'll be interviewed. There will be three people interviewing you.

Behavioral
I had a panel interview with 5 staff members, it lasted about 45 minutes and was mostly behavioral questions. The difficulty felt moderate. The questions weren't super technical, so someone not working here could probably answer them easily. After a tentative offer, there was a background check, and a drug and alcohol test was also given. The whole hiring process took about a month.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Tell me about a time you had to handle a difficult customer.

Behavioral Technical
After applying, I got an email pretty quickly to set up an interview. I got it scheduled for the next week. It was with a few supervisors from Quality Engineering. They introduced themselves and talked a bit about their work. Then they went into detail about the job description. After that, they asked me to talk about myself and my past experiences. Some questions were about ethics and how I’d handle certain decisions.
