Interview
First, HR reaches out. Then the hiring manager and team member conduct separate 30-minute interviews. They introduced the project they will be working on and asked questions about your reserach and background.
Two 30 minute interviews with scientific team members and the hiring team. Conducted over Microsoft teams. Flexible with scheduling. Overall a good experience with enough time to go over all the necessary background and skills.
Short 15 minute phone interview about behavioral questions with the recruiter. A few days after, I received a call scheduling the next interview with a panel of hiring managers, which was technical based.
