Interview
The interview process was rather speedy, but it was your standard phone screen, phone interview, and final in-person interview. The interview was in depth, as far as, getting a feel for your capabilities, skill set, and background. The hiring process, however, was quite lengthy. It was 45 days from interview confirmation to start date. They have mass orientations only once a month. If you miss it, or are mis-scheduled, oh well, you'll have to wait until the next one.
