Barksdale interview questions

Total process was just over 2 months. I applied through a recruiter. Had a couple video interviews before flying out to California for a panel CIDS interview.

I was pretty confident that I did well, considering the only job qualification was "basic photoshop knowledge," and I got a perfect score on the vision test.
