I applied online. I interviewed at PerBlue in August 2017.
Interview
Very fast turnaround from submitting my application to getting an interview. Everyone I had the chance to speak with was very pleasant and laid back. They were pretty quick to notify of me of the final decision after I submitted the test. All-around positive experience, even if the result isn't exactly what I hoped for.
