First round discussing work experience and some hypothetical research questions and how I would approach the problems. Highly conversational and chatty. Interviewer was nice and friendly and offered his insight along the way.
It started with an automated coding screen in a language of your choice, which I unfortunately did not get past. I chose Python for the screen, the questions were pretty standard I just wasn't prepared.
