After applying for the position and contacting the lead, I went in for a group interview with two employees and the current intern. The interview was casual. They walked me through the job requirements, showing me some of the projects that I would be responsible for, and asked me a couple questions about my experience and skills. It seemed that the purpose of the first interview was to determine whether or not I was interested in the position, confident that I could do the work, and whether or not I would be a good fit for the team. The entire process lasted just over an hour. I received positive feedback during and after the interview. Afterwards, I was given a tour of the campus. I received a call back a couple hours later to interview with the department head the following day. The second interview was more formal, involving the more traditional interview questions. This interview lasted about a half hour. At the end of the interview, I received a verbal offer with a tentative start date, but it did not include details about salary or benefits besides a general estimate. I received my official offer letter including an on-boarding packet four days later via email.
