A panel interview is then performed, condensing all interviews into a 1 hr session. You will be assigned to a peer for a peer interview before or after this session. (Week 3) If you are selected, another hiring manager will reach you, performing the final screening. (Week 4) If you are chosen the acquisition team will reach you with this information.
