Behavioral Group Presentation
The interview process started with a phone screen, followed by a panel interview with three current staff members who hold similar roles. I'd really suggest they improve their panel interview skills. The person leading the call seemed young and uncomfortable, and when I asked for clarification, he stumbled, appearing unprepared. It was evident this wasn't the right fit for me due to the evident lack of preparation. One of the panelists even yawned a few times, suggesting they might need a break. I haven't received any feedback yet.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The whole thing took about three months from when I applied until I started. I had a call with a recruiter two weeks after applying. They brought me in two weeks later for an interview with my future supervisor (who was on the phone) and another manager. My supervisor was away on vacation and didn't get back for another two weeks. After she returned, there was more waiting for a couple of weeks, and then I came in for a final chat with just my supervisor. No real questions, just a conversation. I met the senior VP briefly and then got an offer soon after. I think it took a while because the hiring manager was out of town, but it was a good experience besides the long waits.

The hiring process involved two interviews: one with the direct manager and another with the section advisor. Both interviews included a mix of technical questions and questions about my motivation and previous work history. The overall process was straightforward and it took just over a month from start to signing the contract. There was a lot of back-and-forth via email during salary negotiations, as the company seemed quite firm in trying to determine the 'market rate' for candidates.

I applied for a role on Friday, but on Monday they called about a different position since the one I originally applied for wasn't available. I had a 30-minute chat, mostly covering my experience and career goals. They then invited me for an in-person interview the very next day, and by Wednesday, I had a job offer.
