I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Modern Meadow
Interview
The interview process consists of 4 steps
1. Phone screening with HR, 20-30 minutes.
2. Interview with the hiring manager, 60 minutes.
3. Present a topic of your choice, related to the company and the role.
4. Meet the team on site.
Steps 1-3 were remote, while 4 was supposed to be on-site, but I was rejected after step 3.
Overall everyone was amicable.
I wish I had clearer instructions for the presentation. It was too open-ended, so it was difficult to figure out what they were expecting.
On the negative side, communications were slow. I had to follow up multiple times before I could get a copied-pasted rejection e-mail. I didn't get any detailed feedback.

Question 1
Do you have experience mentoring others?
And some technical questions from the hiring manager.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Modern Meadow (Jersey City, NJ) in Sep 2021
Interview
I had a very positive experience. Everyone on the team was supportive, enthusiastic and asked insightful questions. I only declined because I had a location constraint otherwise I loved the team.
I first met the hiring manager and then had one-on-one interviews with the team after which I presented my phd work. Overall very fast process.
The team kept in touch with me after the process and I did not have any issues.

Question 1
Mostly technical questions and few behavior questions
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Modern Meadow (Nutley, NJ) in Jun 2019
Interview
Very positive. Interview was like a big R&D company with a seminar and various 1/1s. Was very impressed. However on starting the job I found out they over-sold their technology and in fact could not scale up what they said they were doing. Lab tours seemed fine but when I got there it was obvious they didn’t show me some of the labs which were extremely bad in terms of housekeeping and safety. All smoke and mirrors
