The hiring process began with a phone interview with three people from the company. After that, they flew me out for an on-site interview. This included meeting with potential bosses and co-workers, a tour of the lab, and lunch. Everyone I spoke with was really positive, and overall, it was a great experience. The work seemed very interesting, and they were clear about what they expected and the role I would have.
