Interview

I had sent a copy of my resume with a cover letter to the companies office and received an email about coming into the office for an interview. The interview was not too long, roughly 45 minutes consisting of general fit and past experience questions.

Work culture seemed very detailed oriented. A lot of the professionals had highly technical backgrounds, mostly engineers.
