Interview
The interview process is very efficient, candidates are brought in for a talent night. During this night they are addressed as a group and then do 1 on 1 interviews.

During the 1 on 1 interview they described what the position was and what the atmosphere was like. They had described the schedule, but they were not very accurate with that.
