One phone interview which then led to one panel-style interview in the lab. The interview consisted of a mixture of behavioral and past work experience questions. The panel-style interview last about one hour and I met with the lab supervisor, the assistant department supervisor, and department supervisor.
I was contacted by a recruiter prior to the interview and they asked me a series of questions and scheduled an in person interview with the hiring manager. I had to check in with security and sign a waiver that I would not record it take photos of anything on the property.
