The process started with a phone screening with an internal recruiter who was very professional and shared valuable information about the team, organizational structure, and next steps. Traveled to HQ for a full day of back-to-back interviews. The recruiters provided the interviewers with a folder on the candidate so the process was extremely smooth and well organized. The recruiting coordinators were genuinely nice and very welcoming. Throughout the process, it was clear that there was a high standard of leadership and consistency within the organization. The questions and dialogue were very thoughtful and smart, which speaks to the culture and high standards. You walked away from each meeting thinking, "I'd like to work with this person." Although the interviews were challenging, they were very fair and straight-forward. You get a clear sense that after the meetings, there would be a thorough and objective review of conversations.
