Interview
In simple terms, if you don't study for your interview and know your resume well you won't do well. They employ the STAR scoring for all answers. Interview questions are behavioral based, with a heavy bias on the core values.
Time between phone screen and on-site was long due to schedules, once on-site the process was fast. Received an answer within 48 hrs.
