Two round interview with the head of the office. First was a more casual conversation via phone and the second was a more formal interview with six of their top executive team. To be expected for the kind of high level work they do and the big wig companies they serve. Questions were asked about my background and my portfolio projects. It all a very fair, thorough and professional experience.

Interview
The interview process was very smooth. One panel interview which can across a little intimidating but everyone was super welcoming. The second one was more relaxed and was asked to come in the office to meet the team. I was asked the normal go-to questions for an interview...such as why do you want to work here, what type of work are you wanting to do and finished up with going over my portfolio.
I went through 3 rounds of interviews. The people were friendly and thorough. I was especially impressed with the thoroughness of information and responses that HR provided. I had different people on each interview.
