Really nice people, the interview lasted over an hour. They answer all your questions, and are super polite. I would highly recommend NWESI. I had a great interview experience with them.
Onsite group interview with CEO and Division Manager. General personality questions and inquiries about related work experience and education. It was a professional and welcoming interview process overall. Great office!
