There were three rounds of interviews for this role. It started with a standard call with HR from SEI. Then, I had two more interviews with my potential site manager. I did hear that some people only had one interview and others had three or more with site personnel. All the interviews were pretty standard and the process was pleasant.

It was a pretty easy and transparent process that took about two weeks. Communication was good throughout. I didn't get an offer but received feedback.

Behavioral

Applied online and a recruiter reached out for a first chat. That first interview was about 30 minutes and I thought it went really well, but then I got an automated email saying I wasn't moving forward. They said there were supposed to be four rounds in total. I reached out to the recruiter again to ask for some feedback since I thought I was really qualified, but I never heard back from them.

Behavioral

Had one phone interview that felt pretty scripted. Then a second Skype interview where the questions were more personalized and focused on the specific roles I was interested in. It's not too hard to prepare for, but just know that when you apply, you're actually applying to all the fellowships, and you might not get your first pick.
