Interview
Smooth! It was very friendly and enjoyed my interview. They knew what they wanted and asked what I'm looking for which I thought was really honest. If you're people oriented, I think you should go for it

Interview
Interview was stressful but overall easy. The interviewer asked me to pick a place to sit down while they got ready and then seemed upset when they saw where I chose to sit, apparently I chose the wrong option. Got the impression from the interview that I was going to hear back very soon, but didn't hear back from them for a year

Interview
It was a simple process. They asked about availability and scheduling first, and then went into questions about times when you faced a challenge, were honest, and worked on a fun project.
