Process

One of their recruiters contacted me on LinkedIn around mid-June. After the initial talks, I had my phone screen two weeks later and attended a recruiting event in Vancouver a month after that, only due to my own availability!

The HR team accommodated my every need and worked around my schedule.

As for the offer, it took around a week, and then another week or so for us to work on my counter-offer. After that, there was another week or so of background checks.

Overall, it has been an exciting and very efficient process!
