The interview process has 7 steps. After you complete the application, there's a phone screen, followed by an in-person interview. Then there's a skills test. After that, we do a final review and give feedback. If everything looks good, we offer the position. It's important to have a good job description before you even post the job or accept applications. This way, applicants know what the role is really about. You should include what they'll be doing day-to-day, what software they'll use, and what responsibilities they'll have. A good description saves everyone time by filtering out people who aren't a good fit. Remember, the goal is to get good people to apply, so write it well.

It started with a phone call, and then there was a long interview with all the directors, which lasted about 5 hours. It was a good chance to introduce myself to the people I would be working with. The main part of the interview took place in a big office, with interviews happening in pairs.
