      Interview

      Had a great experience with the interviewers. The first round was with the recruiter and the conversation was great! She was very nice and gave me a full rundown of the company and position. The second interviewer was also very nice. I didn't end up getting the position as they went with another candidate with a little more experience.

    Being a working parent doesn't mean you have to choose.

    Having my child has been the most amazing experience while working for a company that supports working parents. As a new parent, I had access to 16 weeks of fully paid leave. I chose to first take a month after the birth of my daughter for bonding, and plan to take the remainder after my wife returns to work.
