Candidate-reported interview process

A month after applying, I got a call for a phone screen. The next round was a panel interview with about 5 process engineers. Most questions were behavioral, with some specific science questions tied to my resume.

It was a really fast and responsive process, and the interviews were great. First, I had an HR screen, then a Zoom call with the hiring manager, and finally an onsite visit with multiple meetings and a research talk.

I got an email to schedule a phone interview on Google Calendar. It seemed to go great and I thought I was super qualified, but I never heard back after it was done.
