I applied through the website and then HR reached out about 2 months later for the first call. Then, about 2 weeks after that, I was invited for an onsite. It was all pretty organized and professional. The questions were average difficulty.

Presentation Behavioral Technical
Got shortlisted for PhD campus interview when the company representatives visited our campus. Started with general introductions. Then, I gave a 10-12 min research presentation followed by a 10 mins discussion, Q/A on my research directions. After that, there were 8-10 behavioral questions all about conflict resolution, asking for help, collaborating/convincing people with diverse skillset.

I saw the job posting on a job portal and applied. They asked me to send my CV and a presentation. Then, they scheduled a phone interview with a panel. After the interview, they said they'd let me know within three weeks if I'd be selected for an onsite technical interview.
