I applied for the position online, and was contacted the next day by the hiring manager. Two hours later that same day, I was interviewing for the role in a local coffee shop, as the manager's office is in a secure building. The hiring manager was very approachable and friendly, and gave me a lot of great information about the position. The questions he asked were standard - nothing surprising. On Monday, I received a phone call from him requesting references, and was told I should hear something shortly about a decision. I received a phone call on Tuesday from the recruiter in Maryland, letting me know they were in the process of getting together an offer for me.
