Interview
It was a pretty standard behavioral interview. I was interviewed by two young women. They told me a little about the company and then they asked me to go over my experiences. There weren't too many questions that I was not expecting. I was told that I would hear back within a week and then I was just never contacted again. I would have appreciated at least an email telling me no but they didn't even bother.
