It was a really relaxed interview. They started by introducing the role and what it would entail. Mostly, they asked behavioral questions. The person interviewing me made me feel at ease, and it was a good overall experience.

I did a phone interview where they asked some basic questions. It took about 2-3 weeks to hear back about the job offer, which was a little annoying. They were only offering California minimum wage but health insurance was included. The interview basically covered the job requirements and they asked about each one.

Technical Behavioral
It's all phone interviews. They'll do two rounds. The hiring team, people like Cassandra Rivas, will ask you questions about all the technical skills mentioned in the job description. Don't worry if you say you have no experience for a certain skill because she hires teams with specialists. You're either a botanist, a soils person, or a generalist (ideally another botanist because that's 80% of the job). If you're a botanist, prepare yourself for being overworked and underpaid.
Confirmed questions6 questions
