The process was pretty straightforward. I got a call from a recruiter, and we had a 30-minute chat. It was super chill and easy to talk to them. He did point out how to pronounce 'Wieden' though, which is something to keep in mind.

Had 9 interviews spread out over three months. Ended up getting declined at the very last step. Turns out, they needed someone with a specific regional language skill that they didn't mention at the beginning. Total waste of my time.

It was pretty simple. First a zoom call, then a couple of in person interviews. It took a while from when I applied to when they called me back for an interview. The in person interviews were held at their office in downtown Portland. The vibe was relaxed.
