The whole process took about 5 weeks from the time the recruiter first reached out to accepting an offer. The stages were: Phone interview -> Onsite interviews -> Offer.

I submitted my resume and cover letter. The recruiter then reached out to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. Most questions were behavioral, asking me to introduce myself and talk about my experience. I discussed my relevant experience at a surface level, noting key qualifications from my resume.

The second interview was onsite and consisted of four back-to-back 30-minute interviews with team leads. They all asked general questions about my experience and specific questions to gauge my knowledge. The interviews concluded with a 30-minute tour of the lab and an overview of where I would be working. Culture and personality were huge selling points. Perfect technical knowledge was not expected; a team-oriented attitude and willingness to learn were favored most of all. Overall, the interview process was challenging but pleasant.
