Colloquio
The lab manager called me after accepting my application via iHireBiotechnology.com. As I was not in Houston at that time they gave a couple of weeks of time to plan my trip. The interview was setup for Monday afternoon and was pretty straight-forward,
The post-doc I was to assist talked to me at length about my resume, future plans, etc. Was very informal. He showed me around the lab and introduced me to some other lab members. They said they'd get back to me in a week's time and like they said I was offered a job by the end of the week.

Most of the questions were based on my past experience. Nothing technical, just general personality questions.
The process included an initial interview followed by a panel interview with lab members. Everyone was kind and gracious. The interviews were about a week apart. I received my offer roughly a week after the panel interview.

Very fast and efficient, HR wasn’t as responsive. It was very smoothly with the department I interviewed for but HR takes very long time to reach out for. They call you to make you an offer and get you off guards without giving you time to think it through

The interview itself was good. It was a conference call instead of the typical in-person interview, due to covid-19 protocols. There were a total of 3 interviewers (1 professor, 1 scientist, and 1 member of another dept.). They were very kind, courteous, and respectful. Everything performed in the lab was laid out to me and they answered all of my questions.
The reason for the neutral rating amd not a good rating is the time it takes to even get an interview. I would say it takes about 5-6 months from submitting an application to receiving an offer letter. It takes a minimum of 1 month for them to reach out to you simply for a phone interview. This could have simply been a special case and a more qualified candidate would probably not want as long. However, this was my experience with the interview process at MD Anderson.
