The interview process was very smooth and fast. There were only 2 or 3 interviews with the team, which is much fewer than at other companies. If you're new to the biotech industry, remember to stay humble and eager to learn.

The interview process was punctual and professional. I met with two interviewers in the afternoon and was asked about 10 questions in total. They were on time. I'm not sure if they were specifically looking for a female candidate, but I felt like they weren't impressed with my answers.

The interview involved one-on-one chats with the Group Director and several Study Directors. The goal was to see how I'd fit into the team and check my skills. It felt pretty casual, mostly talking about the day-to-day work and what's expected from team members.
