I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at W. L. Gore & Associates (Flagstaff, AZ)
Interview
Three hour interview. Two different groups, you will not work with any of the panel. WL Gore is so arrogant - we interview you also. It makes it difficult to make a final decision when you have no idea with whom you will be working.
