I submitted a resume and roughly a week later, I was called by a member of the HR team. We set up a time to do a preliminary interview, which was a generic get-to-know-you type of interview, primarily asking questions about what my goals are and what I like to do for fun.

After this, I was informed I would be contacted the following week to schedule an in-person interview. Within the week, I was emailed from an employee in Iowa setting up the in-person interview at the local office.

I went in on the interview day, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. It was a round-robin style of 30-minute interviews with six different employees from different offices.

1. How would you build an object? Would you use the instruction manual or dive right in? Be specific.

2. What is your favorite TV show, and what character are you most like? Provide examples.

3. Are you a pencil or a pen? Why?

4. Do you enjoy being a devil's advocate?
