It was a 1.5 hour interview total, split into two 45-min sessions: one with a group of three, and another with the PI I'd be working with. It was a good experience overall because everyone was really nice! The questions were pretty straightforward, nothing too tough, they just wanted to learn more about you and see if you'd be a good fit.

I applied and interviewed with the hiring managers (doctors) and team members over 5 months. There was an assessment and a follow-up on the evaluation. Then I got an email from one of the hiring managers saying they were reassessing the role's needs. Two weeks later, the job offer was posted again. I understand there was no fit then, but after such a long process, I expected more details. On the bright side, everyone I spoke to was very professionally polite.

The first part was pretty basic, they asked about the job and my prior experience related to it. Then, a second part was done entirely in Spanish because they needed someone bilingual, and they asked about my experience with specific tasks.
