Getting Hired Here


  • “It took a while for the first interview to happen which they stated on the job posting. However, after that, it went very quickly, which was refreshing.”
  • “It was a fairly straightforward application, answered a few questions and sent in a resume. I also added a cover letter. The next phase was a short phone call with an HR representative to get a meeting scheduled, and I interviewed 3 members of my department, answering behavioral-style questions that took roughly an hour.”
