The interview process was great and straight forward. After applying, there was a screening call with HR, took about 30 minutes. After that, there was one more interview with the managers and partners. The interview took about an hour and asked about previous experience, how familiar I am with different softwares, and the type of work I would be seeing.

The interview went pretty well. I met with three people who might be my supervisors to talk about my past work and what this job would be like. They were all really open about what the company expects. The office staff were friendly too.
