I went through two interviews. First, I spoke with the HR Manager. Then, I had a second interview with my potential supervisor and another senior research associate. The interviews were pretty standard, no super difficult questions. I felt good about it after both rounds.

Had a phone screen, then two panel interviews with leadership, then radio silence. After giving several hours to the process, you'd think they'd at least let me know I didn't get it.
