The interview process included a phone interview, followed by a one-on-one in-person interview, and then a subsequent interview with several staff members. These stages were spread out over many weeks. After this, I was told I would be an excellent fit and asked for references. Despite all the time and positive feedback, I never heard back, not even for a rejection.

I reached out to a lab doing work I found interesting, and that kicked off the initial steps. Getting set up took a while, like nearly two months, because I was missing some clearances and the tech I needed to actually do the job. The actual interview though was pretty chill, just in one of the doctor's offices. He was a nice guy, and it felt casual but still professional.

after applying, there was a phone or in-person interview where we discussed our area of expertise with some psychologists. This process was pretty much the same at all the different locations. They were also pretty chill about scheduling the interview dates.
