I applied online and got an email from the HR guys for scheduling an interview at the Piscataway campus. I was told who I would be interviewing. It was three seperate managers who I would potentially be working with and they all asked similar questions but they were from different parts of the department. Very friendly people and environment.

Preliminary interview so it was not anything difficult. They reached out to me for two more interviews but ended up never responding. They aren't very good with following up.
