      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New America in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Scheduled for a 30-minute phone interview. Interviewers were late; however, they let me know beforehand (about an hour prior to the interview). Spoke with two individuals who were very nice. I had to remove myself from the process shortly after because I received an offer from another company.
