CSS Manager Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process was very quick. I was able to come in for the majority of my interviews either on my lunch break or after business hours. During lunch interviews, they offered me lunch and had me meet some of the team members, and it was the same for after-business-hour interviews. Everyone was extremely friendly, and by doing this, I was able to get a good feel for the company culture.
The one issue I had (and it wasn't really an issue) was with my final interview. I was 10 minutes early (6:50 p.m.), and the person I was interviewing with was running 40 minutes behind. Everything worked out, and I was happy to wait.
