The interview process was really laid-back and the interviewers were nice. They asked questions in a conversational way, mostly checking my knowledge about storytelling and what skills I could bring to the role, along with some standard behavioral questions.

The interview process was thorough and included several members of the leadership team. I had to prepare and present a deck in advance. Some of the questions were challenging, but they were fair. I felt good about the interview and ended up getting the job.
