Behavioral Technical
I've interviewed a couple of times with this company and while the people were friendly, the process was not great. If you manage to get past the initial phone screening, you'll typically face a small panel interview. The most unprofessional part was their inconsistency with timelines; they'd give you one and then not stick to it. They also scheduled additional interviews or meet-and-greets, which felt like a waste of time, only to eventually offer a lowball amount, presumably due to financial issues.

I first connected with a recruiter from an agency about the job. The interview itself was about 2 hours long and had several people from the company there. They asked questions about different parts of the job. I heard back about the outcome pretty fast.

It was a 3 round interview process. The first round was a casual chat with the director. The next two rounds were technical. One focused on system architecture and the other was a general technical round. The questions were not too hard.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was long and quite stressful for me as it was my first time interviewing. It would have been easier if I had a good grasp of my current research project because the Team Leader asked a lot of technical questions.
