First interview was on Zoom with three other candidates, goal is to know our career paths and basic informations. Second interview was a group interview. Just discussions pretty informal. It doesn't give you enough room to prove yourself or your points. Never heard from them after that, even though I sent a follow-up email.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was simple and straightforward. The interviewers were really nice and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me, rather than focusing on my experience. It was a very easy process, and I honestly wish more interviews were like this.

They did a good job reviewing my studies and programming experience. I talked to the heads of research in the department. They got back to me quickly. I learned a lot about the studies they are doing and the materials they use. They gave me a lot of literature reviews.
