Interview
Lengthy. Challenging. Insulting at times. Felt like everything I said was double questioned. Not sure why, but the hiring manager was very specific in what she wanted in a candidate. More concerned with hiring someone who fot the team versus individual capabilities.

Interview
The Interview process was good and I met with several different people. They all asked questions based on my experience and asked to provide examples on how you would handle difference scenarios. The process took a little longer than expected, however I think it was just because of the timing and everyone seemed very busy but certainly very friendly and forthcoming with information about the job.
