Candidate-reported interview process
The interview involved technical and general questions. The interviewers were friendly and asked questions that were relevant to the job, practical, and pertinent to the work that would be completed. There was also a Human Resources interview with some situational questions.
There was one interview over zoom before the in-person ones. Then one day of in-person interviews with the team. Some behavioral questions were asked, but mostly science questions. I heard back a few weeks later.
The interview was scheduled a couple of weeks out. It was a very long process with many rounds, involving behavioral questions and casual chats with different teams. Everything seemed to go well, but then I was rejected a few days later without any feedback. It was a really tedious process, and I didn't learn much from it.
