The interview process involved a presentation, an in-person interview, and a group interaction. It was a really engaging and comfortable interview. They were looking for specific skills that I possessed. I was referred by an employee and we discussed the various experiments I would be involved in. A part of the interview required me to come up with an experimental plan. It was a good experience overall.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

After submitting required documents, selected candidates will likely receive an email. The interview process includes two interviews: a Skype interview, which is generally easy, and an in-person interview. The in-person interview isn't overly difficult, but confidence is key. If you have solid experience and can speak to it well, you should be fine; just present yourself effectively. After these, a background check will likely occur before an offer.
