I have never had such a long interview process, and I never will again. There was so much overlapping in the topics, leaving me with the impression that they were unsure of what they were looking for. After so much discussion, I couldn't understand why someone would buy something from them instead of Amazon.

Just be careful about the long process and think twice before investing so much time.
