Interview
I applied through an employee referral in April 2018 and was contacted after 5 days for the first phone interview.
I had 2 technical pone interviews, each taking 30 minutes. Overall experience was good, however the company is bad at getting back to applicants in a timely manner. I received the invitation for the second interview only 20 days after the first one. And after the second interview I followed up but did not get any response.
