Behavioral Technical
There were 3 rounds of interviews, with each interview conducted by a different faculty member. Each interview lasted approximately 30 minutes. We talked about the lab's research and my background. It wasn't overly difficult, especially if you know the field well and can participate in the discussion.

The interviewer was really nice and easy to talk to. They started by explaining the job and everything about it which was super helpful for me to understand what they were looking for. It was a video call, which made it comfy and convenient, and I didn't have to travel anywhere, which is a big plus!

Technical Presentation Behavioral Other
I went through three interviews. Two were one-on-one with lab doctors, and then there was a 45-minute presentation of my past research to the whole lab, which had about 20-30 people. They were cool with interrupting me and asking questions, kind of like a research defense. I was supposed to have a fourth interview with the technical lead, but they ghosted me on emails about scheduling. After those first three, they emailed saying they had enough info for an offer, even without the last interview. Then, I talked to someone in talent management about salary and title. I told them what I made before and what I wanted now. They just said 'OK' and didn't mention anything about the salary being too high. Two weeks later, they offered me a job, but with a totally wrong title, 'Software Engineer,' which doesn't fit my background or the job. The salary was half of what I asked for, and less than what I started with 6 years ago. It felt like a waste of my time because they didn't tell me during the talent management chat that they couldn't afford to pay competitively. I was shocked when they called with the offer. Talent management's excuse was basically 'you were in industry, this is a non-profit' for the low salary, and they gave no reason for the mismatched title. I was expecting a pay cut moving to a non-profit, but this offer isn't even competitive for a starting data scientist in 2023, and I have 8 years of experience.
