Process

After applying online with a cover letter and resume, the hiring manager called and conducted a phone interview, discussing my background and qualifications. At that point, we discussed an onsite interview, and two weeks later I visited for it. The people were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and helpful. It often felt more like a casual discussion than an official interview.

Between the phone and in-person interview, I had to complete an online skills assessment that seemed mostly math and personality-driven.

Questions

I was asked to give an example of a time in my research that I had been frustrated and/or realized I'd made a mistake.
