The interview was very straightforward. I was asked to give an hour long seminar followed by individual interviews with the different team members and leadership.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
People asked about the specific skills I would bring to the company and some specific scientific questions. During the interview I noticed almost everyone had a genuine interest in my personal ambitions and goals and how that would fit with the company.
Small company trying to grow and advance their clinical pipeline. Interviewers from other functions did not seem to understand what the role is about. Hiring manager flip flopping on job responsibilities.
