Interview
The interviewing process was surprisingly laid back. Only had one phone interview where I went over my resume and such with my potential managers. I was then asked to provide three references, and after that didn't hear back for around 3 weeks. After three weeks I got an email to apply for a specific job on their company website with no explanation of why. I applied for the job then waited. About two weeks later they emailed me an offer letter.
