The interview process was super easy to schedule, and I talked with one of the people for over an hour, while discussing the role and what I thought it was versus what it is.

Question 1
What do you think this job entails? What do you know about this position? Why do you think this position is a good fit for you? Considering this role involves making connections and being able to put yourself out there, is this job right for you?
Very kind people, genuinely want you to be there. Both first and second round interviews were really pleasant and gave descriptions about what job would look like. They did cancel my interview twice, once for a golf tournament, but good interviewing experience.
The interview process is really laidback. Someone will contact you to get the interview process started. It is only behavioral questions and then the interviewer will describe the position in further detail.
