Behavioral Technical
I was first reached out by a recruiter and asked to send my CV. The first interview gave me the basics on how the company operates and what the interview process entails. I was asked to talk about my research, thesis, and interests, but the questions weren't super tough. The next step was supposed to be a chill chat before the main interview. I thought it was a chance for me to get info, but they really went after me about my research, and it got pretty intense sometimes. The aggressive vibe made it hard to do my best, but I guess it's because the job sometimes means dealing with tough lawyers in court and depositions.

So there were 3 interviews in total. The first 2 were more informal, each lasting around 45 minutes. Then there was one big formal interview that went for about 5 hours. This included a 45-minute research presentation, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session, and there were 5-6 people interviewing me.
