Hr was helpful. Kept me posted throughout. She personally called me to update me on their decision as it was a Friday, so I wouldn’t be left wondering over the weekend
it was a 5 part process that had many people involved with full presentation that was very time-consuming all the people involved were great not too bad I would probably recommend them to a person I know
