There were very fast follow-ups which kept me interested and excited about the position. The first step was a phone screening to get an idea of who I was and what their company culture was like. After that, there was an in-person interview that was very convenient at Austin Hall. The employee interviewing me was professional and personable, which made me feel comfortable. I left the interview feeling excited about the position and hoping for the best. The third and final step was going to the Portland office and getting a tour as well as a final interview with our potential teams. <\/li><li>For me, throughout the application process, I loved the people I was meeting.
