The process was quick. I sent in my application at the end of January 2015. About two to three weeks later, I got a mail saying they received it. In March 2015, I got an email for an interview the very next day. When I got there, two people were there to interview me. They introduced themselves and then explained the job. After that, they started asking questions from a 3-4 page packet, taking turns after each question. Once they finished, I got to ask my questions. I got a tentative offer the same day (pending background check, etc.). The formal offer came two weeks after.
