An initial email soliciting interest from the hiring manager was followed a week later by a request for a phone interview. The pre-screen call, which was one hour long, occurred one week after that.

The phone interview was casual. There were no real technical questions, as they had already pre-screened for a level of programming proficiency. They were looking for personality and behavioral fit for the role.

Their request to set up a day-long interview was done quickly. The on-site interview took place a week later.

The on-site interview began with a one-hour presentation to a group about prior research. This was followed by five one-on-one interviews, with a lunch break taken with the hiring manager and a member of the team.

Again, there were no real technical questions; all questions focused on behavior and fit.

Three weeks later, I was contacted by the hiring manager with the offer decision (yes).

One and a half weeks after that, I was contacted by HR with the actual offer.
