Process

Applied online and received an email requesting to set up a phone interview.

The phone interview was about 30 minutes and was conversational about your resume and projects worked.

The onsite interview was two hours, broken into short one-on-ones with team members and the director.

Most were conversational again, besides one that tested your software skills.
