Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied on the website and got an HR screening call quickly. Then I had to do a written technical test about my experience. A week later, I had a video interview with the team, mostly talking about my PhD and the role. Within two weeks, I was invited for an on-site interview. This started with me presenting my research, then I had one-on-one chats with different managers and HR. They offered me the job about a week after that. The whole thing was pretty quick, took around a month.
