First, there was an HR phone screen where they asked basic questions about my experience, salary expectations, and work history. Then, I interviewed with the functional group manager who asked high-level questions about my clinical research experience and some behavioral questions. Finally, I interviewed with the project manager. This interview focused on specific project questions to assess my fit for the role.
