No matter what, interviews are stressful; we do our best to make it approachable. During each interview, we send questions in both written and oral format, so you have multiple ways to process the question. Our panelists adhere to interview best practices–meaning we follow accessibility standards, speak to our own experiences, and only ask questions relative to the position. We work to make our hiring process as transparent and accessible as possible.
