I was contacted by the HR person after having a half-hour, face to face, interview with a senior statistical consultant at a career fair. The interview day consisted of a block of 4, 45mins interviews following lunch with two of my potential peers in the company. Then I gave a talk about my research in front of PhD statisticians (senior director to manager level) from their clinical statistics and biometrics group and after that I was in for anothe 4 -35-40 mins interviews with mostly more senior people in the department I was considered for.
