Messy and disorganized recruiters. Hiring Managers were good, technical team interview was strange, they seemed miserable. Completely ghosted me after the last round, even after follow up with recruiter. Not sure this is the best place to work just based on this experience.

I applied online and recieved an email from
HR for a phone interview the following week. The interview was over the phone with a total of 3 hiring managers. It was very straight forward and casual. I received a call the next day from HR asking if I was interested in working with the company because they wanted to extend an offer. I received another call the very next day with an offer.
