It was virtual for all three interviews, which felt pretty standard. The people interviewing me seemed thoughtful but not very coordinated, as some questions were repeated across different meetings. I didn’t really get the vibe that they care about employees much, and the interviewers seemed overworked.

The interview process was pretty thorough, and it was really helpful to get a sense of what the day-to-day work actually looks like. Everyone I spoke with was really nice and gave me a clear idea of what it's like to work there. I wish I had a little more info upfront though - I only got the interview schedule the day before.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I did an HR screen and then two interviews with senior research assistants and my potential manager. HR screen was just to make sure you are human and actually meet criteria. And then interview was basic questions and gaging interest in the department and current research knowledge.

Behavioral Presentation
Applied online and got an interview, but only knew it was on Teams and 30 mins. It turned out to be a panel with 7 social workers and a Nurse Practitioner. They had a PowerPoint with 6 questions to answer, with no discussion after each. It was tough to tell what they thought. I really wish I'd known it was a panel interview beforehand.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you describe a time you had a disagreement with a coworker and what the outcome was?
