I was put in a room with the hiring manager and some other people interviewing. They asked me questions about how I'd do general office tasks. Then I was sent to another conference room to do a task in person. While I was doing that assessment, the hiring committee talked about the interview. They called me back into the room and asked a couple more questions before letting me go.

The interview process was well organized. I had a Zoom call first, and then they flew me up to see the lab and campus, which was a pleasant experience before accepting the offer. I got to meet all the department heads and the team I would be joining. They also discussed the good and bad points about working in the lab and the community.
