The interview was straightforward, relevant, and pleasant. The salary was revealed early on the process, which was helpful for my decision making. The staff were helpful and kind. The space was nice too and it seemed like the current employees were happy to be there.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Olin Group
Interview
Phone interview with manager and then in person interview with executives. They also had me work on improving a grant - they gave a set amount of time and I worked on it there at the interview. Overall very friendly and professional.
