I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake
Interview
The interview was one of the best interview processes I've gone through. I applied online, and within a day or two, I received an up-date and was sent an e-mail to complete an assignment. After I sent the assignment, I received an up-date within a day or two for a phone interview. After the phone interview, I was given an instant up-date, which was refreshing and exciting. I was then given the opportunity to interview with three supporting managers through video. It was also by far one of the most positive, engaging and genuine conversations I've had during an interview. Kudos to Jordan, Alex, Joe and Larry! Thank you for providing such a great interview experience. It's because of people and companies that stand for what you do that makes people strive for more.
