Colloquio
Phone: Had a great hour long conversation with a researcher about previous experiences, plus some technical questions.
Onsite: Most interviewers seemed fine, but definitely had a weird experience overall. One interviewer came in 10 minutes late, clearly had not read my resume (and was not interested in reading it even when I offered him a copy) and asked me technical questions that obviously were totally unrelated to my experiences. I'm sure they do great work but based on the experience things seemed somewhat disorganized. Also definitely felt like some people had big egos. That being said, your mileage may vary since I only did 4 one hour interviews plus lunch, and maybe I just had a bad interviewer or two.

Recruiter call me directly. They were recruiting biology-oriented employees, while I am seeking a CS-related position, so it ended up with merely a technical conversation rather than an interview, I think. Unsurprisingly I was not offered a on-site interview.
