The in-person interview was about 3 hours long. I met the team for a casual hello, then had a more formal interview with a panel of 3 people who asked basic questions. After that, I met with the director of the department for a stricter, tougher interview. I drove over 4 hours for the interview, and they didn't cover any travel costs. I waited 2 weeks after the interviews and still didn't get an offer. It was a really long process and felt like a waste of time, but the people themselves were nice.

Emailed my resume to the department coordinator, agreed to meet a few days later to discuss the position and responsibilities. Everyone was very nice and they gave me an offer on the spot.

The process was longer than I expected. I had phone conversations with three people, and then they invited me for a group interview with the department. The 'Rice brand' was emphasized a lot, which seemed really important to them.
