Interview
The interview was a multi-stage process with many points of contact that included one-on-one phone interviews and an on-site visit with one-on-one and panel interviews. The entire interview, hiring, and on-boarding process was assisted by several well-integrated computer systems with web-based front-ends that kept track of interviewee data and hiring status, accessible to the interviewee as well as hiring managers.

Interview
Technically focused and personally pleasing. Began with an employee referral, and the hiring manager was very quick to follow-up. It took some time for them to work with the HR for the final logistics details, but all the technical interviews were promptly finished. Once done with the interviews, the manager always kept me updated about the processes going on w.r.t. my hiring. Constant communication throughout the interview process.
