It was a very long selection process. The interview was a video call with the camera off. I had to send several emails to the recruiter to get information because the timelines they gave me were never met.

Behavioral Technical
It started with a quick call from HR, just some basic questions. Then, there was a really, really technical 1+ hour interview with two statisticians. They asked a ton of rapid-fire questions about statistical principles, clinical trials, regulatory guidelines, and SAS. The interviewers were super cold and seemed to care more about whether I could give the right answer immediately than anything else. It felt more like a test than an interview. They weren't as interested in my background or work experience, just my ability to answer tough technical questions on the spot. Honestly, it didn't feel like a great place to work.
