During the interview process, you meet with the hiring manager a few times on the phone. After that, I was Offered an in person interview with 4 people. Everyone was so friendly and nice! They were down to earth which took away the intimidation of a full day of interviewing. I felt So welcomed!

Over the course of about two weeks:
