Process

The hiring process is very quick; no time is wasted, and they like to move forward rapidly if they feel a candidate is a good fit. There were two phone screens and one on-site interview.

The first phone screen lasted 25 minutes, and the second was about 40 minutes.

The on-site interview process was very smooth and well-planned. The recruiter and the interviewers were professional. There were six 1:1 interviews, with five being completely technical.

The manager provided great information about the group and their work, and was polite and professional. The final interview was non-technical with HR personnel. The HR representative was exceptionally nice, providing detailed answers to all questions.
