The process started with an email from a recruiter asking to set up a phone interview. We settled on a date and time, and I received a call. This first interview was a basic HR-type phone call and lasted about 15-20 minutes. The same day, I received a follow-up email to set up another phone interview with the supervisor and group leader I would potentially be working with. Again, we settled on a date and time, and I received a call. These questions were almost all situational, with very few technical questions asked, other than my previous experience. This phone call lasted about 25 minutes. The next day, I received an email asking me to set up an on-site interview. Prior to the on-site, I was asked to take an online assessment that lasted about 45 minutes. Portions of this assessment were timed, so be sure to take it without any distractions. I was also provided with benefit information so I could look it over and bring any questions I had with me. The on-site interview process was long. My day was scheduled from 9:00am to about 1:45pm with one 15 minute break and an hour for lunch. I met with various groups from within the company. They all asked me a series of questions - many of them similar from group to group, and almost all situational - with each group having about 30-45 minutes scheduled. The largest group I met with at one time consisted of 3 people. Lunch was also an interview, although definitely more casual. I was also unexpectedly asked to do some lab set-up, so dress appropriately. I heard back at the one-week mark that they went with another candidate. At no time during this process was pay discussed, but they were very open about all other aspects of this position.

The interview process was long and drawn out, however it was not unpleasant. Started with a short phone interview with HR, only lasted perhaps 10 minutes. Then transitioned to an official phone interview with the supervisor I would be working with, this lasted perhaps 30 or 45 minutes. This focused mostly on my previous experience. Because I was living out of state the next step was a longer interview via skype with the entire team I would be working with as well as another HR interview. This skype interview process lasted about three hours and was more in-depth. I enjoyed getting to meet everyone I would be working with, it allowed me to visualize what work there would be like. After the interview it did take a couple of weeks before I heard back about getting the job. Before getting the job I also had to complete a personality type test online and submit references. Overall, perhaps a month or month and a half process.
