Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process started with a phone call with HR, and then moved to a group interview with some senior leaders and coworkers.
A scientist from the team reached out about 2 weeks after I applied. We had a 20-minute video call on Teams. They mentioned they would let HR know, and HR would then contact me about setting up another interview with the team if I was chosen. I never heard back after that.
The first interview was a 30-minute Microsoft Teams call with the hiring manager. After that, there was a 3-hour second interview conducted over Microsoft Teams with six different interviewers. Some questions were asked more than once during the second interview.
