The interview was pretty straightforward, mostly behavioral questions. It took a while to get feedback even though they said my interview went well. Ultimately, no offer was extended. Everyone was really respectful, but it's a pretty competitive place.

The interview process started with a 30-minute pre-qual phone call. This was followed by a 1-hour in-person interview. About 4-5 weeks after that, I received a follow-up phone call with the results. The interviewers were good at taking standard HR interview questions and making them more relevant to the specific position.
