Process

The most responsive and open interview process I have ever been involved with. From the very beginning, I was given all-star help and guidance.

The process began with a quick talk about the company and my background, which served as the initial screening. This was followed by a coding challenge, unless I already had public code I preferred they look at. I enjoy a good challenge, so I chose one of theirs: a full-stack, single-page web application.

After a week, I submitted the project. They had a single day to review the entire thing! The following day was a technical overview of my experiences. Later the same day, I was informed I was invited for an onsite interview at HQ.

I was to front the bill for travel, but their expense reimbursement process is painless; they ultimately pay for everything. The onsite interview was, to respect their process, both a pleasure and a challenge.
