The interview with the director of technical services was chill. It was more of a situational interview than a technical one. Be prepared to handle "what if" scenarios, and be truthful because they can tell if you're faking it.

After applying, I had conversations with HR, the Lab Director, and the Lab Manager. They asked standard questions for the role, assuming you're prepared. It felt more like a back-and-forth discussion than an interrogation. They really wanted to make sure I knew what was expected and what I could expect. It seemed like a good company, and the team I met was smart and driven to improve and succeed. I'd be happy to work at Polaris.

I got an email from a recruiter to see if I was interested, and then they set up a call. It was about 20 minutes long, where they wanted to know about my background and experience and told me more about the job.
