      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Petco (Sacramento, CA) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Good process. Felt the interviewer was prepared and had my resume in front of him. It felt like he had already made up his mind about me before the interview. Like I guess it was more a screening then an actual interview.
