I went through 2 rounds of interviews. Most questions required giving specific examples of experiences. The first interview was a phone screen and then I was brought in person to interview with a 3 person panel. The hiring team was really easy to talk to.

Behavioral Technical
The hiring manager didn't have his camera on, which was strange, but we proceeded with him and the recruiter. He asked me about how I handle specific scenarios and described the daily tasks. The conversation flowed well, and I felt I learned about the company and the job. I also felt my skills were a good match. The recruiter agreed and complimented my communication during the interview setup.

This was for a research role on a team that was already fully staffed, so things moved really fast. The only interview was a phone call with an HR recruiter, after which they planned to extend an offer. They inquired about specific research experiences, but no technical questions were asked. I also got to ask questions about the role and my responsibilities.

I had a quick call with a recruiter who unexpectedly called me on a Monday evening. She asked a lot about my background and what I was looking for. Then, I had a longer phone chat with the lead biomedical engineer for the contract, where we discussed the role and my experience. The next day, the project manager for the contract called me for an interview. After that, I was invited to come in for an all-day, in-person interview with other candidates.
