It was a good interview process. The turnaround was quick, and the whole thing took about 3 weeks. The recruiter was really nice, pleasant, and helpful when I had questions. First, the recruiter called, and then I had an in-person meeting with the hiring manager. The person who interviewed me in person was also really nice and didn't seem intimidating at all; it felt more like a conversation than an interview.
