After passing the initial resume screen, I had a quick 30-minute interview. It was a small panel interview, very direct and transparent. I really liked the interaction and felt like I got a solid idea of what the day-to-day would be like.

They first asked for a casual cover letter and resume. A formal job announcement came next, with a detailed questionnaire about my background. I then had a one-on-one phone chat. Following that, I was invited for a meeting with the supervisor and the team. They stuck to a typical set of behavioral interview questions. Just a heads up, the job was advertised for one specific project, but when I accepted, they switched me to a different one.
