The professor interviewing was rude and asked arbitrary questions and pressed for uncomfortable answers while interviewing. Both people in the zoom call were also not very great and did not do much

Behavioral Technical Presentation

So first, you gotta apply through their job portal, upload your resume and cover letter. Then, HR screens your application to see if you even qualify. They might also do a background check and look at your social media. If they like what they see, you'll probably get a phone interview to check your skills and experience. If that goes well, you'll have an in-person interview with the hiring manager and team, which could be a panel or one-on-one. Depending on the job, you might have to do a skills test, like a writing or technical test, or maybe give a presentation. Lastly, before they decide, they'll likely check your references.
