Process

I was referred by a former colleague, but HR took forever to contact me back. Finally, the manager conducted a phone interview. The phone interview was okay. I was asked about my previous jobs and projects.

I was invited for a face-to-face interview at the Roku office. I had three people interview me, and then I was called in another day for one more round of face-to-face interviews.
