Wonderful environment! they were so welcoming and kind. I didn't end up working here, but one of the best interview processes I've ever had. Interviewed with 3 people in the final round
Interview with several Buyers, DMM's, and VP's over a few hours. The interviews aren't very structured and seem to be pulled out of thin air. Overall, it was a good experience.
