Interview
Very fast turn around on the first response after I applied online. Received an email back in just a few hours of submitting. Took online test and then got called within a day and phone interview set up at my earliest convience. Phone interview lasted over an hour and then was told DM would contact me in about a week. DM was on vacation but was very well informed by the recruiter of this. Had DM interview that was pretty interesting and then was scheduled for a panel interview with 4 other DM's including the first. Within a day got a call to set up a meeting for a job offer. We'll see what the offer is in a few days.
