The interview went really well, and it was pretty laid back. I liked how they made me feel comfortable. I interviewed with the person I'd be working with directly, which doesn't usually happen, so I felt like they really understood me.

The interview process was good, but the hiring managers could not guarantee flexible work due to agency policy. The initial interview had a great group discussion. However, the organization's top-down structure makes it tough to recruit and keep staff who aren't already part of the agency.
