Process
I was referred by an employee and contacted by a recruiter within three weeks to schedule an interview. The interview was about 30 minutes long. I spoke with a recruiter who asked several behavioral questions and a brain teaser. I am not sure how I did. It has been two weeks, and I have not heard back.
