My first interaction came from an HR person in an email asking if I would accept a certain salary as a minimum. After confirming the salary was within my range, I then had a 15-20 minute phone call with the HR rep. During this call, she asked why I wanted the job, confirmed my work history, and asked if I was willing/able to work on-site for a minimum of 3 days a week. After this, I had a 30-minute teams meeting with the hiring manager about 2 days after the initial call with HR. The hiring manager asked basic interview questions (e.g., why do you want to work here?, what is your strongest skill? describe a scenario when you had to solve a problem, etc.). After this meeting, on the same day, a meeting was scheduled with the hiring manager's manager, which was completed 3 days after the interview with the hiring manager. This call included more information about the current research programs, and delved a little more into my scientific background and expertise. After this call, I heard back 1 week later with the offer. The entire process from application to offer lasted 3.5 weeks.

Over the phone interview with five different people. The questions involved my background research and work experiences. Everyone was friendly. The questions were a mix of technical and personal quality questions. Ie. example of working in a team, problem with supervisors - how did you resolve the issues etc
