I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Metropolitan Capital (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Relatively easy and straightforward--more of a personality/work ethic assessment than anything else. Began with a video conference with the hiring manager and eventually moved into in-person group interviews with different members of the company, over the course of about a month. No real technical questions asked, but instead more conversations about the role and type of people who would best fit that role.

Interview
Phone interview first, then in-person interview with a few team members at main Chicago location. Very relaxed atmosphere with basic behavioral questions to begin and some technical questions later on in the interview.
