Presentation Behavioral
The interview process was excellent, and I received a verbal offer the following day. They were open to negotiating the terms. While it was the best interview experience I've had, I had to consider another offer with a better compensation package. I was very impressed with the campus, though the town itself is a bit isolated.

The interview process is designed to assess your passion and eagerness to learn on the job.

The team is talented and supportive, but you'll also need to be self-motivated in learning through online tutorials.
