Interview
I had an in person interview at their office where I answered 2 different computer science questions with 2 different interviewers. About 3 weeks later, I was contacted for an over the phone interview (I thought this was unnecessary). About 3 days later, I was offered a position. It was a very exciting experience. Everyone was very nice and encouraging, including all of the interviewers.
