Interview
An initial 10 minute phone screening with recruiter, who then forwarded me up to the main recruiter. She reached out with an interview with 2 upper management personnel. This was a 1 hour video interview with a variety of questions based on work scenarios/difficulties and how you handled yourself/ outcomes.

Interview
It was a tough one - pretty much 5 different interviews because the job required a Life Sciences degree and fluency in two languages (in my case - French and English). So, I had a phone interview with a native speaker in French, one in English, an interview with HR, an interview with my future line manager and finally - a written exam, which included knowledge in life sciences, it was all in English but in the end I had a medical text (about osteoporosis) to translate in French.
