Vari step di selezione (4 nel mio caso). Tutti superati con molta soddisfazione da entrambe le parti. Nessuna proposta pervenuta e non mi è stata data la motivazione del non superamento della selezione (ultimo step fatto proprio con risorse umane).

Behavioral Technical
So first was like HR, just talking general stuff about the job and like what salary I was expecting. Then the hiring manager wanted to chat, basically about my experience and then more details about the job itself. After that, there was a panel interview with folks from different departments and the director, where they dug into my experience and job details more.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you share an instance where you had to collaborate with a coworker with whom you had differences?

Technical Behavioral Group
The interview experience involved seven interviewers and lasted for approximately four hours. It concluded with a group lunch with eight other people. The interviews were conducted in a single conference room, with each interviewer meeting me individually. There was also a tour of the lab facilities. I wore a suit and tie, while the interviewers were dressed nicely but without suits or ties.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was a three-round interview process and things seemed to be going well. The last interview was quite extensive, involving a 45-minute presentation followed by almost 4 hours of questioning from four other interviewers. The hiring manager seemed very positive and even mentioned I was the most likely candidate. I gave it my best shot, but ultimately, I never heard back from them.
