Process
The process was straightforward.
I received a phone call from a recruiter for an initial phone screen. The recruiter was very nice and helpful.
Next, I scheduled a phone interview with an engineer. It was an hour long and included time for questions at the end.
While I did not receive an onsite interview, the response time was fast, taking about a week.
