Candidate-reported interview process
The team lead reached out because they were impressed with my research publications. The process started with two 1:1 discussions with the lead of the Veranome (spatial biology) division. This was followed by a 90-minute interview with another scientist. The final stage was a 4-hour session involving a presentation and multiple panel interviews, including senior leadership, with about 10-11 people. It seems there was a background check and an offer stage afterward.
The interview process was really smooth and flexible with scheduling. The interviewer was nice and encouraging. There was just one round with behavioral and technical questions. The coding question was pretty basic and focused on fundamental concepts.
A recruiter first did an intro phone screen. Then I interviewed with some HR people. Finally, I met with business partners for the last interviews.
