It was a Zoom call where I was asked about seven questions covering my background, an explanation of the role and its responsibilities, and my technical skills. The whole thing lasted about an hour, and I heard back from them a week later.

Was a finalist for the role. Talked with the manager and a director, had a good chat, and saw the facilities. They also explained the job scope. I was told I'd hear back in two business days, but after a week, I still hadn't heard anything. I had to take another offer, and they didn't even reply when I reached out. It seemed like a good place to work, but the outcome was really disappointing.

You'll chat with 6 leaders from different departments for about 30 minutes each. It's a great way to get a feel for the company. They ask standard stuff but seem genuinely interested in what you say. It's less about your resume and more about how you connect with people.

Applied and got hired in 2021. It was pretty easy, taking about 3 weeks from application to the offer. The offer was good, so I accepted. I interviewed with the director, who would be my boss. It wasn't very technical, mostly about 'fit'. He was upfront that I'd have to figure a lot out on my own.
