Candidate-reported interview process
Interview was 4 phases, first basic phone interview with text book questions. Second was one on one with hiring manager and two follow ups with multiple members of direct and extended team. Nothing extreme or out of the ordinary and the communication was great form start to offer.
Never heard back after the first interview. I emailed them to ask about the process but still got no answer. The interview itself was about 30 minutes and it was okay.
The interview was a 30-minute meeting with a Senior scientist. They seemed rushed and eager to conclude the conversation.
