Everyone I met throughout the process was incredibly sweet and transparent about each step, actually made me more excited about the role than I had started out. The whole process also only took around 3 weeks, so there wasn't any excessive waiting period.

I had exchanged some initial emails with the recruiter and had a phone interview with the department director. I then was asked to come in for an in-person interview to show some work samples to the same director, and to see the space. They gave me a tour. Most of the things they showed me were useless to my role, but still nice to see.
