It was a quick interview process. It began with a simple non-technical interview with HR. After that, I spoke with a Principal Investigator. It felt informal. The whole process was nice and I felt supported the whole way, and they also told me when the job changed.

I went through 9 interviews, each lasting an hour. It was a long process. Some were one-on-one, while others had three interviewers. It was exhausting and made me not want to work there. The head of the institute was very rude during the interview.
