It was a nice interview experience, very calm and friendly. The interviews felt more like a chat with a friend. They asked general questions and wanted general information. I didn't get an offer, but that was likely for other reasons.

I had 3 interviews. First with the recruiter, then the hiring manager, and finally the research team. It wasn't a hard interview, but it took a long time to hear back. The hiring process is very competitive, so don't assume anything.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was a super long and detailed interview process. First, I had a recorded virtual interview with questions that were pre-selected and had set time limits for answering. It felt really impersonal, but I guess it was just the screening part. After I finished, the recruiter emailed me saying they were interested and wanted me to do 6 more interviews with different people on the team. I thought those went pretty well and figured I'd hear back in a few weeks like they said. But then... nothing. I emailed them to ask what was up, and they told me they needed another 6 weeks to decide. I waited over a month, super anxious, and then got totally ghosted – the status in the portal never even changed. I emailed again and they finally told me I didn't get the job. I was so bummed by how unprofessional and bad their communication was. The whole thing, from applying to this final rejection, took about 3 months. I put a ton of time and energy into those interviews just to be ghosted like that. Honestly, not okay.
