There were several rounds of interviews, but the process moved quickly. First I had a screener with HR. Then I had an interview with the director and associate director. Finally, I had panel interviews with staff.
I had a panel interview with relevant people from the different offices I would work with. That was immediately followed by a separate interview with a PCORI recruiter. They communicated very well ahead of the interview, so I knew who I would be talking with.
