Past research experience?
Future plans?
I applied online. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA)
Interview
Long. Many months between interviews. Panel at the end was tough. Didn't hear back for a while. Said I was better for a different role. Skipped to panel for that one. Long wait again. Then got an offer
Phone Screen Interview
The first round was a phone screening conducted by a recruiter. This conversation focused on my background, relevant experience, and understanding of the role. In-Person Interview
The second round was an in-person interview with the hiring manager and potentially a team member. This round went deeper into my technical expertise and practical experience. I was asked to walk through specific projects, explain my decision-making process, and demonstrate how I approach real-world challenges.
