I skipped the HR interview and met with the lab manager, a few postdocs, and a senior technician. We talked about their research, and they asked about my background and if I had experience with animal work. Just basic general questions.

The interview process started with HR and management asking about qualifications, skills, and work experience. Then, the technical team asked a lot of technical questions and some situation-based questions. Finally, the head of the team asked management questions and about me and my career plans. The process was quick, and I got an offer within three weeks.

Behavioral

Got an email a couple days after applying, even though the portal didn't update. Had a Zoom interview where I met the team I'd be working with. We mostly talked about their work and what I could bring to the table. It felt like they weren't really trying to get to know me. They had to cut the interview short because they had other people to interview, which was a bit unprofessional.

  • Tell me about how you deal with stress.
