I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Lee Hayes (Austin, TX) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process is very drawn out. I spent several hours interviewing - back to back individual interviews via video conference. The interviews were scheduled over lunch but I was not taken out for lunch or even offered anything to eat - fortunately, I brought a protein bar and ate it during a few minute break between interviews.
