Interview
Interview process very nice after you apply you do a video interview and take some assessments if they like you they reach out pretty quickly always on time for appointments told you what the next step was and they do not leave you hanging
It was just a basic conversation where I talked about my skills and they said what they needed. It was really laid back, but I still had all my questions answered.
