The interview process took a whole year which was just wild. I went through like 19 different stages, including meetings, phone calls, a personality test, background check, and a drug screen. Honestly, I don't know why I put myself through all of that. There was a lot of back and forth, and the company doesn't even offer a salary. This place is super cult-like, so don't drink the kool aid.

I had an online interview with HR recruitment and the company president. There was also a written evaluation and exam that I had to complete, and we discussed the scores. The whole process took about 7 months before I was onboarded.

Behavioral Technical

You’ll talk to their corporate recruiter twice, and if she/he thinks you fit, you’ll have a first rounder. Then, two interviews with the hiring manager. Next, a discussion and shadow session with a team leader. Following that, you’ll meet with the CFO to go over the comp structure. If you make it this far, an offer is likely. Lastly, for onboarding, you'll need to do a drug screening with a urine test.
