You'll start with a screening call from HR. If you pass that, you'll get scheduled for a 20-minute presentation about your experience or research, followed by a 10-minute Q&A. Later that same day, you'll have a full day of interviews with the hiring manager, team members, and upper management.

Behavioral

Had an initial call with a recruiter for the company. It seemed like the recruiter wasn't really paying attention or even knew what the job was about, only starting to read about it when the call began. They asked super basic questions and couldn't answer any of my questions about the job. The call ended early because there was nothing else to discuss after they finished their script. I also got ghosted after that, they never replied to any of my emails with questions about the job, and later I got an automated rejection email that didn't specify which position I was being rejected for, but I just assumed it was for the role I applied for.

Technical Presentation Behavioral

The interview process was efficient and organized. It started with a screening call from a recruiter, then a 30-minute technical interview with a scientist. After that, I had a full-day onsite interview. It kicked off with a 20-minute research presentation with a 10-minute Q&A. The rest of the day had several 30-minute interviews, totaling 6.5 hours. I met enthusiastic people who really loved their work. They made a decision about 3 weeks after the onsite.
