Interview Details –
Office was cluttered, people disorganized. I had to wait 45 Minutes after my interview appointment to start.
I interviewed with three people, the last one the manager of the team I was interviewing for. The first two were all technical knowledge questions, the manager asked "Character" type questions.
They took me to lunch, and I met a few more members of the team. I got a verbal offer that day. It took 15 days to get the written offer. I started 30 days after that.

Interview Details – The interview and hiring process in my case was easy do to an employee referral. My advice is to find a way to contact the manager of the department directly. This is a huge organization, and the resumes and applications can sometimes get lost in the crowd. The managers in the Houston office are very accessible, you just need to get an appointment and set yourself apart.
