The personal at this company is very friendly and welcoming. Almost everyone there has a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. The interview process starts with one-on-one talks with the main engineers from the company, followed by a one hour presentation with questions in a conference room, and ends with a tour to see the facilities. You are expected to work regular working hours (8am-6pm) and they offer two weeks vacation per year. Expected starting salary (for a Ph.D. straight out of school) is between 90 to 100K.
