Interview
I went through a recruiting agency who scheduled the initial phone screening. I then had two different phone interviews with both a Sales Development Representative and Account Executive. I was then brought into the office for a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager. The interview process was straight forward and very welcoming. All questions that were asked felt as if they had a genuine interest in my response. Overall good experience.
