Interview
The interview process starts with the typical screening interview. Once you've been filtered, you make to a 4-hour panel interview with personnel at different stages within the organization. It is a behavioral interview with some case discussion. The team is very approachable so it feels like a conversation. If you are a desirable candidate, that would be the last step. The organization will then proceed to contact references.
