Behavioral Technical
I went through an onsite interview for a senior research associate role and it was a really good experience. The HR person, the hiring manager, and the interviewers were all super supportive and seemed impressed with what I can do. In the end, they went with someone who had more specific experience, but the manager told me to still look out for other jobs at Juno. I liked that they gave me feedback and encouraged me, and I felt good about the people I met during the interview. I'll definitely be watching for new openings there.

Behavioral Technical
The in-person interview had to be scheduled three weeks out due to no earlier openings. They cut it short at the interview because of a scheduling conflict. I met with two other research associates and two higher-level employees, including the associate director. His only question was what questions I had for him. They took a long time to get back to me. I emailed them about the status and then got a rejection.

Since I'm not from the area, I had three phone interviews. They were all pretty relaxed and lasted about 40-50 minutes each. First, there was a screening interview, then I talked to the team leader, and finally, I spoke with a team member. Everyone I met was nice and seemed to really like working at the company and what they do.
