Interview
Quick process from start to finish. Just had 2 interviews before receiving offer from the hiring manager. The background check process wasn’t too bad either and was quick. The HR people were friendly and easy to get a hold of.
Two phone interviews for fit. Applied for an entry-level/training position; few if any technical questions. Mostly questions about academic background, interest in the field, etc. Two of these by phone, both were similar in these regards.
