Behavioral Technical Presentation
So I had a really good experience. First, there was a quick HR chat on the phone. Then, about two weeks later, I had a zoom call with two of the Team Leads. They wanted me to give a 10-15 minute presentation about a project I'd done. The technical questions were pretty tough, but it was actually cool to go through different scenarios and build out arguments about a related field, especially since I was changing fields at the time.

I had a presentation, then a lab tour, and then a panel where they asked questions. For the presentation, it was about innovation around their pipeline, and they told me on the phone during the first round what I should include.

Behavioral
I have no complaints about the interview itself, it was the second stage in Oxford and I have been waiting over a week now for a response which I get the feeling will never come. I also had to travel for the interview and stay in a hotel.
