Behavioral Other
The interview process at CI is advertised as concise and is the opposite. Took over a month to be invited for an interview, then a month of interviewing to be emailed that I didn't get the job. They contacted references for all of the finalists, not just the one they wanted. Just a complete mess and a waste of time. Avoid unless you're desperate.

Behavioral
They want to avoid salary discussions early on, as they see it as a potential negative. The process involves a straightforward set of panel interviews where you'll encounter behavioral questions. The interviewers will be a mix of people from different staff levels.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online and then got a 30-minute phone interview with two people who asked pretty basic questions. After that, I had an in-person interview with those same two people plus the VP for the project. They took turns asking questions that were a bit more in-depth than the phone interview. It looked like they were interviewing a lot of candidates in person. They also asked for a writing sample and said they'd check references for the top two candidates. The whole thing moved pretty quickly.
