Process

I applied for the above position and was contacted several days later for an initial screening interview, which was mostly informational.

I was then contacted several days later to schedule a follow-on technical interview with a manager.

Overall, the interview process was smooth. I was contacted within three days of the second interview that I was not selected.

No complaints on my end.
