I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Broad Institute in Dec 2015
Interview
Half an hour call with a recruiter, followed by an online coding test. Then had a phone interview with the project manager, which was followed by on-site interviews which basically involved talking to a bunch of computational and wet-lab biologists in the lab of what they do and how I would fit in
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fairly generic HR-type questions - why do you want this job, what is your statistics experience like?
First phone screen with hiring manager. Then, 5-6 interviews over a day with different members of the lab. Each interview was with 2 people from the lab, who held a similar role.

Question 1
Describe past research experiences, why do you want to join this team.
The interview was fairly easy. Had to do a recorded interview that had five questions, then a programming portion, then was reached out to by individual labs to set up interviews.

Question 1
statistics/programming question and questions about my research
I applied online. I interviewed at The Broad Institute
Interview
Phone call from HR+ Codility coding test+ Phone call with hiring manager+ On-site interview. The decision, offer/rejection can be slow. Codility test should be in Python and not so easy.

Question 1
Do you know R? I didn't a lot because I work in Python mainly.
