Was a very quick interview. Only had the initial hr phone screen and then a short 30 minute technical interview. Feel like they really needed people at the time because I heard the interview process was changed.
2 rounds of interviews. Most questions required giving specific examples of experiences. First phone screen and later brought in person to interview with 3 person panel. Hiring team was very easy to communicate with.

Question 1
Give an example of when you influenced organizational change.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cherokee Federal (Santa Barbara, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The manager I was interviewing with didn’t even have his camera on, which was odd. However, we continued with him and the recruiter. He asked me more about how I deal with certain situations and talked to me about the day to day. It felt very fluid and smooth. I felt like I got to learn about the company and the position, and also felt like my skill set was compatible for the job. The recruiter felt the same and gave me some kudos for my communication skills that went into the interview setup.

Question 1
Would you be okay with taking on this role blindly? Since the hiring manager wouldn’t be there.
