I had contacts in the company, so the interview was more informational for both sides. The visit was competently prepared, and the interviewers were motivated and professional.

Much of the interview consisted of talking about possible technical contributions, opportunities for research at the company, and the possibility of impact from new developments.

My general advice to interviewees is to network; cold interviews or interviews without any prior contact or knowledge of each other are a lot tougher for all concerned.
