Behavioral Presentation

We had 4 rounds total. First was a 30-minute screening call. Then a 30-minute chat with the hiring manager to gauge my work style. The next step was a presentation on a scientific topic to a panel of team members.

I went through three rounds of interviews. It started with a screening phone call, then I had a chat with the manager on the team, and finally, a panel interview where I had to give a presentation to a mixed group of employees. I didn't make it past these three rounds.

Presentation Technical

The interview process was super organized and efficient. It had 4 rounds: first, a recruiter phone screen, then a call with an existing employee, followed by a presentation, and finally a product demo. Everyone I talked to was really nice and got back to me quickly, especially the recruiters. The whole thing took about a month. All in all, it was a great experience!
